Walk: Down the mine from Well o' the Lecht
Moray | Ladder Hills | Short walk | ★★
[Lecht Mine] |
An easy walk in the middle of the Highlands? You'd better believe it. It's only a mile round trip to the last surviving building of what was once Scotland's largest manganese mine, surrounded by piles of discarded iron ore. An unexpected slice of history for such a remote location, and thankfully this industrial relic only enhances the beautiful glen in which it sits. Perfect for a short leg-stretcher if you're driving over the Lecht Pass.
