Riving Shed

A series of photos from a walk up and over Coniston Old Man, a hill (or fell) in the English Lake District National Park on a bitterly cold day in late winter 2023.

 

The Lake District has been a working landscape for five thousand years. Most of the ore and slate mining may have disappeared but it is still very much a working landscape for the sheep farmers.

The remains of the mining industry in these parts make fascinating subjects for exploration and photography.
