Longlands mine consists of a series of small trials on a copper vein on the west flank of Longlands Fell. The mine was first worked in 1841 by a Mr Clemence who drove two levels, one on each side of the gill. But the vein was to prove almost barren with very little copper within the quartz, and the venture was soon abandoned. Then in 1853 a Samuel Merryweather took over the mine. He started by continuing the existing No2 level and soon encountered some good ore. However, it didn’t last and he was soon into poor ground and the level was abandoned. In 1854 he began driving a third, lower level, hoping to intersect the vein at depth. The level was driven a total of 258 yards through almost barren ground before he reached the 3ft wide vein. However, the copper was to prove very poor and it was decided that the mine was no longer worth the investment. The mine finally closed in 1857.

Today the lower level is now gated and used as a water supply.

Longlands Mine lies just within the edge of green zone of the Caldbeck Fells. Collecting is allowed although a permit is necessary as the same restrictions that cover the Caldbecks also apply here.
