====================================
Hi Guys

I found a place I wouldn't mind exploring not far from here, place is called "Bincliff Lead Mine" Located in Ashbourn near Derby I found the location to be on some farmers land middle of no where by looking at this map

Google Street View
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=Stable+Lane,+Ashbourne&ie=UTF-8&ei=3qHYT-LECIu08QPRoZieAw&oi=mode_link&cd=3&ved=0CEoQ_AUoAg 


And Grid Reference to actual Location of the Mine
SK115539


My question is how do I find out who does land belong to as it would be easy just to ask the owner to let me explore the place and he would know where the entry point would be also.

I can always go there with out asking him, but I would prefer just to ask the owner if I can explore.

What would best way to find out who the owner of the land is ?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I would just 'wander off the path' ::)

They are listed in "Caves of the Peak District" with no mention of any access restrictions. If there is any, the book usually says so.

The correct way to find ownership is via land registry 🔗http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/public/faqs/how-do-i-find-out-who-owns-a-property-or-piece-of-land[/link] but there is a cost involved!

The latter map kindly shows two adits and says its a nature reserve too, so I can't see you having any bother there.

The DCA (= Derbyshire Caving Association?) is the access negotiation body for access to mines and caves in the Peak District. They have a very good track record of negotiating access with a wide range of landowners. They maintain lists of owners of mines and caves. There is a website, I'm sure.

Well I just got back from this mine.I found loads of entry points All caped off or not accessible. I will upload pictures in a bit I only just got back in.

I found about 7 Entry points all caped off or not accessible at least I did not find any other entry point

There is 1 entry point here

I was trying to find this entry point with no luck. I even asked farmer that was working near by. He did not know anything about any entry point to mien he said all caped off.

As I said I did find about 7 entry points my self but all caped off or not accessible I will post some pictures in a bit of what I did find :)

Of course the other way of finding out who land belongs to is wander across it and see who shouts at you, shoots at you, or, puts a rude note on your car. 😉

I'll get my coat...

That was a light hearted comment btw before anybody jumps on me!

Get yourself a copy of Caves of the Peak District, it describes which entrances are accessible, there are no known access restrictions for entrances outside of the nature reserve, down towards the river.
The nature reserve is managed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and they insist that all users carry proper caving third party liability insurance, the easiest way of getting this is by joining the National Caving Association, although NAMHOS might do something similar.
DCA should be able to give you keyholders names.

Funny you say that I actually left not on my truck where I was parked, with message. Gone to visit Bincliff mines if not back by dark call the police.

On the way back to my truck I got phone cal;l 1 of our drivers can't get past your truck.

Now signs clearly say not suitable for wide or 7.5 ton trucks I don't even want to know what was Argos 7.5 ton truck was doing in middle of the country side where there is only 1 room for a car.
😉

Good thing I left note and number there to call me encase of any issues.

Also did that for safety reason encase I got stuck or could not get back out for any reason. at least some one would of seen my truck for 2end day and they would of known roughly where to look for me lol 😃

As I always explore by my self at the moment, so I take every security step make sure people know where I am.
