Tinker's Shaft

Tinker’s Shaft was once the main access point to the Great Masson Cavern, a working lead mine in the 17th Century, here in Matlock Bath. It is now safely capped and has been transformed into a viewing platform with incredible vistas over the Derbyshire Dales. Breathe in the fresh air and imagine what life once was like for those who worked the mines on Masson Hill.
