How the Honister Slate Mine Was Converted by a Family into an Adventure Destination

Jan Wilkinson and Prentice Wilkinson Weir, mother and son director/owners of the Honister Slate Mine, talk with Alan Fine of Insider Travel Report about their late father/husband's folly (that turned out to be a "gold mine") to buy the rights to  a 400 year old abandoned slate mine to create an adventure destination in England's Lake District. From a mine that supplied slate for Buckingham Palace, guests are offered historic tours of 13 miles of tunnels, climbing experiences outside and inside the mountain, and a cafe with homemade food from local produce, all flexibly designed for individuals, groups and FIT.
