The Mining Hut is one of my most popular Lake District Landscape photos that I sell online and in various outlets across the Lake District. The photo was captured on the 8th April 2007 whilst walking Haystacks and the High Stile Ridge from Buttermere.
The terrain here is a testament to the industrial past from the Honister Slate mines. There are broken slates everywhere and nestled in among all that slate is this lovely remote Bothy.
Its real name is Warnscale Bothy but I termed it the Mining Hut and this particular scene below has proven to be very popular.

The inside of the Bothy is pretty basic, since I took these shots I’ve had several website visitors email me suggesting they’ve spent the night in this Hut. One guy spent his Wedding Night in there, with his wife as well can you believe.
The Hut must have one of the finest views in the whole of the Lake District though, if you can see past the cobwebs.
