Garth Iron Mine

Well worth a look, I was there around Christmas and 4 or 5 weeks ago, and the doors were open.

Is this the one on the left as you head up the hill? If my memory serves me right it's got a big lake/pool inside known as the blue pool. If it is I hope it stays open another week or so as I'm stuck in Somerset until 20th. The last time I went in was around (showing my age now) 25 years ago. Anyone up for a trip??

It is that mine, it is a smaller now as the quarry has consumed the site of main pit. The blue and two other pools are still left.

Any idea if this is still open? Might have next weekend off for a visit.
