Kettleness Alum Shale Mine (United Kingdom)


Directions found in a 1976 journal so given the local erosion rate to be treated with great care! ..... Approached from the public footpath running northeast along the coast from Kettleness. A scramble down a gully in the northeast corner of the open quarried area leads to a 7' wide ledge 10' down the 100' sea cliff...... About 360' of passage surveyed in 1976
