This was a trip organised by a mate from DCC ...
without who, access would be next to impossible ....(trips are easily organised through DCC,but wandering around solo is a no go ) To be honest without a guide you could spend a good few hours wandering and not see half of interesting stuff .
Copper has been mined at Alderly since Roman times and the workings of the mines are extensive
here's a link to some history courtesy of DCC

Some pictures ???
