WOOD MINE
At 1.5 miles (2.4km) in length Wood Mine is the larger of the two mines which are sometimes opened to the general public on days organised by Derbyshire Caving Club who also control access to this mine.  Entrance is usually via a steel manhole in Windmill Wood which is on the other side of the road to the Wizard pub.  The manhole entrance drops down into a long adit at the end of which is a miners' tipping wagon.  On open days the door at the entrance to the adit is used.
Wood Mine is linked to Engine Vein and other mines in the area via the Hough Level which makes an interesting through trip.
