I met quite a few of the Troggs my dad was 1 of them, the stories and image a lot of people had/have aren't true, he still has paper cuttings where they were mentioned. Ive been down there myself many times and slept down there too it's a really nice mine/cavern and you can spend a whole day exploring which messes with you a bit when you go in during the day then come out to darkness lol.
I was in Matlock Bath just two weeks ago. I wish I'd have seen this though❗️Id walk right passed it not knowing it was even there.😫 Stunning. Another excellent video Thank you.👍🏼
I might of missed them but i didn't see any footage of what we call the wishing well, it's a pool of water thats filtered through the limestone. Also some other chambers named was piano chamber because there's a large slab of rock in the shape of a grand piano and also Queens chamber where you can still see the bracket from a chandelier on the ceiling from when Queen Victoria visited.
@patterdaleminecave3545 definitely there's so much to see and so many passages especially down what we call the maze, i actually have 2 old maps of the workings from my dad and some area's are gone and other's have appeared through rockfalls with Cumberland being a natural cavern.
@@patterdaledivecave3545 I get ya. Ya call something the wrong thing and people jump on ya like a pack of dogs. Some of the terms are different from the UK to the states. Stay safe out there
@@patterdaledivecave3545 You're very fortunate to live there. I'm currently fascinated by the region. My Patrilineal ancestry since 1586 I've traced to the Amber valley, from Crich, to Lea, Holloway & Ashover till the19th century. Now in Sheffield. A very slow migration.
@@patterdaledivecave3545 That would be great. I'd really appreciate it and would love to come along. I'm a beginner but do have a pro helmet and plenty of torches. I'm in the Peaks every weekend so maybe we could sort something in the new year.
No the adit / entrance is buried you have to go via Wapping entrance shown on the video then go up th slope with the partially buried wheel barrow then climb up a bit of a face of rock
Ah OK. Thank you. Can you recommend any good, local caves or quarries that I'd be able to just go and take a look around? I collect minerals and crystals and would love to get a little bit of local mineral. I'm not a caver. I'm just Joe public, so nothing where I need to use equipment or anything I have to squeeze through lol
@@JKKJ12 This one isnt hard to get into and has a lot of stuff, if you ever need a guide just ask, you will need a helmet and a couple of torches though, I have a builders helmet that would be ok, . Send me an email if you wish duggeedub@proton.me

Wapping Mine is a great place, we did a full explore a couple of months back. The full tour video is on my channel.
It is perhaps our closest and we love the place although not been in there for a while . Will check out your video

You need to visit numerous times to see most things , we have had dozens of trips and still find new stuff all the time

Nice video. Would have liked to have know more about the mine with less music, but to each their own
Tried that buddy but if you miss out the tinies of detail people are ion your back . So put the music there now .

Thats impressive. Wheres the entrance? Also would be good to make a video about the Troggs. Maybe some are still alive.
Behind the new bath hotel in matlock bath
Another brilliant video. Do you guys to tours? Would love to come on a mine explore with you.

Can you get straight into Cumberland cavern from outside of it?
