The miners and quarrymen live in the hard, forthright villages of the upper dale. They owe much to their setting, for in themselves they contribute little to the attributes which make for charm.

The hills are marked with spoil heaps, drifts, adits, old mine shops and engine houses. No miners live there now, but sturdy ponies, the legacy from that era, still roam. They graze amongst the mat grass tussocks on the bents and fescues which have grown there since before Roman times.
