Ayle Colliery, Alston, Cumbria

Midway between Newcastle and Carlisle in the North Pennine area of outstanding natural beauty.

Two miles out of Alston on the A686 take the left fork (right if you are coming from Hexham) at the crossroads signed 'Ayle'. The Pit is at the bottom of a bank after a left turn. At present, visits by appointment only.
