Heading north to the hairpin which leads left to the lakes at the bottom of the valley. Now part of the National Forest, it is hard to believe that this area was part of the open cast mine, which between 1982 and 1996 produced eight million tons of coal for nearby power stations. http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/recreation.nsf/LUWebDocsByKey/EnglandDerbyshireTheNationalForestSenceValley
