Killhope
Overview
Killhope, The North of England Lead Mining Museum, is a fully restored nineteenth century lead mine, where you can experience for yourself the life and work of the lead mining families of the Pennine dales.
Due to ongoing restoration works Killhope will remain temporarily closed throughout the 2024 season. The urgent works will include repairs to the underground mine, washing floor, mine shop, buddle house and jigger house.
In the meantime look out for details of our Killhope in the Community programme which will take the Killhope story on the road across the county.
