 ead mining area on the edge of the Clandeboye Estate. Mining ended around 
 1910 but reminders of the industry can still be seen today in the form of 
 chimneys\, mine shafts – which are all fenced off – and spoil heaps.\n
 \nThe area consists of forest and open areas with a lot of gorse. The area
  has an extensive path network due to bike trials being held here. Speed w
 ill not be your friend! This area was previously a dumping site so be awar
 e of any pieces of metal / scrap material in the forested area.  Further 
 to the north is the Clandeboye Estate which is mostly forested with varyin
 g levels of runnability.\n\nThe area was newly mapped in March 2023.  Ple
 ase note that large areas of ferns have been marked as “open area with s
 cattered trees”.  Crags are not large features but have been mapped and
  are consistent throughout the area.  It is very muddy underfoot and\, ev
 en if there is a dry spell before the event\, wear appropriate footwear fo
 r slippery conditions.\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routegadget\nThis area was used
