Downstream of the major buildings, evidence of lead mining is less obvious, though there are still waste tips and the number of footpaths and bridleways is very much down to the widespread industrial activity in this area up until the end of the nineteenth century. Nowadays it's more the haunt of walkers and mountain bikers using the area for leisure pursuits as many of the scars on the landscape become hidden by vegetation.
