Honister Slate Mine
United Kingdom
There is nothing quite like standing at the top of Honister pass looking at the road as it winds down the pass, chasing the stream as it goes. Breathtaking – literally as it is usually quite breezy up here. You will find it is worth it though as we stop to breathe in the fresh air and take those essential photos. If you are lucky, you may see intrepid adventurers on the Via Ferrata at the slate mine or the adrenaline junkies traversing the stomach-churning Infinity Bridge, the longest high wire bridge in Europe at 1000ft above sea level.
