- Dark Secrets Revealed at Jugholes Mine in Derbyshire
In this video i explore the centuries old Jugholes Mine in Derbyshire
Lead mining in Derbeyshire was huge back in the 17th Century and beyond, and Jugholes near Matlock was no exception. In later years it was used to mine fleurspar until eventual closure forever.
Jughole Mine hold many secrets.............

Another fine and possibly dangerous video. I had my fingers crossed through the whole video. Glad to see you are out. Thank You for your time and effort on this tour. See you on the next. Enjoy your week ahead. Cheers Ant and Phil! 😊😊
Exciting video, Ant. When I was in Matlock, there were lots of former lead workings. At the black country museum ,you can visit an old mine like that
Thanks Michael. I love stuff like this so I'll probably do another at some point 😀
Defo looks like fun & liking the small Railway line complete with the old hopper!!! 😉🚂🚂🚂
Lovely little surprise that was I imagine there's hundreds around the UK
Fantastic video Ant!! Absolutely fascinating watching.....looking forward to the next one!
Brilliant thanks Paul ☺️
Amazing explore, some relics down there shame non of the carts are in a local museum, stay safe as that roof looks dodgy in places
Although it's not a mine ...if you ever get to a chance to go down past the showcave at Peak cavern its a amazing place to go. Out of curiosity and probably a little bit of cheek I asked a caving club if I could go on trip with them if they ever went and they ended up taking me and a friend of mine down. Someone had molded a light switch out of mud and stuck it to the wall of a chamber 😂🤣 when i saw the mud man it reminded me of my trip. Great videos as always...... thank you 👍
Nice to hear you call the tub a tub and not a mine cart. We had tubs and trams down the pit. 👍
The "chimney" was actually a support for the cable hauled railway system that brought ore/fluorspar from the adit and other workings at the bottom, up the hill. The rails in the large, cavern entrance were part of the same sysyem bringing ore/fluorspar out of the workings there. The ore was taken up the hill on the same system to a loading bay accessed form Salters Lane. All the workings shown were later, twentieth century workings, with some reworkings of the older mine. Much of Jug Holes, mined and natural, has been missed in the video. Some has been lost, some rediscoverd and some lost again. There is more to be rediscovered yet.
Another great video, if a bit scary! I would be forever wondering if the rocks would fall down on me. Well done, both of you. The old rails were fascinating.
Thanks Simon. It was certainly very different
Brave man Ant. But it was so Interesting and compelling to watch. What an explore for both you and Phil. Look forward to next one. Thank you. Ps. Music so apt.
Wow! What a great video. Bit off the normal trekking and exploration and totally fascinating. Reminded me of a similar exploration I made many years ago into a disused mining tunnel in the Forest of Dean. Not sure I'd fit through some of those spaces nowadays lol.
Thanks very much for watching Bill. It's something I'd be interested in doing again at some point
Well, that was a lesson in claustrophbia, can I breathe out now?😂😂😂😂 Thanks for doing all the hard work Ant, there's some great finds down there - loving the cobbled together arch👍👍👍
It was rather extraordinary down there. It won't be a regular thing but something I might do should the opportunity arise
A great explore Ant. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks Chris I'm pleased 😀
Another great explore you wouldn't get me going in there 😂 It just shows what is under your feet if you know where to look. Keep the video coming.
wonderful filming and i love the knowledge u bring to all your adventures good to see you had a good caver to be with you
Thanks very much Rupert very kind
Once you start scratching the surface of Derbyshire's extracive industries you soon realise half the county is like Swiss cheese, holes everywhere!
One of the most breathtaking places I visited was Middleton/Hopton mine, despite talking to a former employee the scale was mind-boggling. Great stuff, Ant. 👍
That Middleton mine is the massive one isn't it? I think security is high if that's the one
About 15-20 years ago I had to repair a forklift down there, my mind was absolutely blown when the site foreman told me to drive down in the van, the sheer size of that place is absolutely astounding, I remember going back a few years later but to the upper level and I passed the previous entrance that I'd driven down in the van to find it had been capped with concrete, that whole entire hill is hollow.
@@TrekkingExploration That's the one, mate, no idea what access is like these days, been a long while since my self-guided tour.
Adge50, yeah, that must have been a surreal experience!!
@@TrekkingExploration I used to go down Middleton mine, in a lorry back when the mine was operational. back in the days before health and safety I used to sit in my stepdads cab during school holidays as a child. This was back in the early 90s
wow what an interesting video ant i wouldnt do this as i get claustrophobic but im so happy you share your amazing journeys well done x
Thanks Jan. It was something extremely different. We did two that day
Brilliant video Ant! Derbyshire has some really interesting old mines to explore. Stunning photos Ant especially the old mine carts. Love these explores, more please! ❤👍
Thanks Carol. The amount of photos I could have taken if I had all day would have been unbelievable
Very impressive, Ant! Rather you than me though, this is the stuff of my nightmares 😅
Thanks Frank. I might do another at some point
When I saw that entrance I was like nope not going down there 😂 But I’m glad you did as it’s a fascinating video. Very interesting. Thank you.
Very kind Sarah thanks very much. I'm not sure I could get in a tighter entrance
Great videos and commentary as always, great insight to history and the mining industry.
And u both r brave men.
We'll get you in one soon you know you want to 😁
Excellent.
Thank you 😊
Just catching up on a few of your videos.. I'd love to know how you find the time to film, edit and upload so regularly, but very glad you do! 😁 We've been to Matlock a few times but never found the time to visit any of the mines around the hills there, hopefully one day we will! Great videos as always, looking forward to the next ones 👍😊
Didn't you just love that? I broke a rib the other day, so moving anywhere really hurts. Nice one Ant.
You were marked as spam! I don't think so, do you!
Thanks for taking us along for the explore , hello from down under opal miner here. The wheels where removed mostly because they where the most valuable part of the tub.
Well done Ant another amazing video in our beautiful Derbyshire.
Thanks Barry I'll probably do another at some point
Ant, what a fun way to spend a day, so much more fun that sitting around the house watching T.V. This reminded me a bit of our trip to Carlsbad Caverns, but the Jugholes Mine is much much more of a challenge to navigate thru than Carlsbad. Thanks to you and Phil for your time and work......
To think we didn't do it all either..... We did two that day the second will appear soon 😊
I'll have coffee at the ready for part two...@@TrekkingExploration
well done ant loved it. look forward to more videos like this once again thank you .
Thanks very much Clive
Interesting and well.photgraped i have been in some big caves, but never in what is termed pot holes
It was an interesting and different kind of visit. I'll maybe do another if it looks good
Fantastic
Thank you for watching 😊
Excellent video really enjoyed watching.
Thanks very much 😊
Ummm...I'll stay by the entrance thank you!. That was excellent. That has to be one of the strangest places you've found a section of rail. Amazing part of the country around Derbyshire so many different things to explore. All the best.
Thanks Tim... I'm always trying to expand on the staple of old railways so hopefully this proves popular
Loving your videos keep up the good work 🤙
Thanks so much Alan 😊
Awesome, who doesn’t love a mine
Thanks James.. I'm sure I'll do more
"who doesn’t love a mine"?
Infantry...
Its just as if the miners have down tooled and left. Nice video was usual.
It looks that way.. thanks Sarah
Another great video, but if someone offered me a million pounds, I just could not go down there, so I am glad you are braver than me, and we got to see it.
Thanks very much for watching Sheila. I quite enjoyed it I think I'll do another at some point
Brilliant video Ant, but what can i say,,,Your Grounded😂😂
Ha you can't 🤣
@@TrekkingExploration i know.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really enjoyed Ant. A little different from you usual excursions. Any more mines planned for future explores?
Thanks Richard. I don't really have the subscribers for this type of thing but thought I'd try it. We did two on the same day 😊
Excellent but rather you than me!
UK visual media is often spiced with warnings of "Flash Photography", ostensibly because some individuals are medically triggered by it.
The opening for this video should contain a warning: "Claustrophic Spaces". I had to turn away when you were crawling down that corrugated pipe. The superb realism of your vids just amplifies the phobia.
👍
😊
interesting. looked rather dangerous to me
❤
Hey fella I’ve been watching a few of your videos lately .
I didn’t no you was into underground as well . Have you been to Goodluckmine? I can give you a tour
Hi John thanks for watching. Is Good Luck the public one?
@@TrekkingExploration no it’s a working mine but we do allow the odd trips every now and again
Check out underground explorer uk Goodluckmine he has done a few recent videos
can i join you ive done a couple round matlock. goodluck mine and masson lee
Brilliant video. You're much braver than I am! I'm inclined (no pun intended as it was a steep entrance!) to think the rails in the older mine weren't insitu as railways hadn't been invented when the mine was first sunk!
Yes I think that rail has indeed come from the lower narrower mine
Would I go down there?…Not a chance…Whatever floats your boat.
Amazing workings, but look rather primitiive and unstable to my inexperienced eye. So good advice: don't explore on your own, wear a hard hat and proceed slowly and carefully. Great stuff.
Yes I agree you wouldn't have got me in there alone or without the correct gear
Thank you Ant for another fantastic video. I'm afraid that's somewhere I just couldn't go, too claustrophobic. But we're all there with you so your taking people to places they could never get to see otherwise. Keep up the excellent work 👍
Now you've really got my attention, Disused Railways and now a little taster of something I hope you continue....the Underworld. Keep up the good work, there's so many Disused Mines and Quarries and Narrow gauge Tramways in this Country you shouldn't ever run out of content 🙂
It's something that's been on my mind for a year or more. We did two on the same day so I'd definitely be interested in doing more
Great can't wait!!! I use to spend every weekend exploring the Corsham Underground Quarries down here in Wiltshire, the War Department used alot of them for Ammunition Storage back in the 40s, sadly I haven't been Underground for years as I have no friends interested in this stuff and as you know it's unsafe going alone ☹️
