Heights Pasture was the name given to the opencast fluorspar workings to the east of Park Burn near to the track of the mineral railway. The lead/ironstone workings were known simply as Heights Mine, although the fellside above is known as Heights Pasture.

That's it exactly. The lead/iron mine is simply marked as Heights Mine. The Heights Pasture workings are on the Slitt vein and close to the 'waterfall' on the east side of Park Burn. The two mines are completely separate entities.

Disclaimer: Mine exploring can be quite dangerous, but then again it can be alright, it all depends on the weather. Please read the proper disclaimer.
