The Miners Arms is set in the small village of Nenthead in the county of Cumbria. Cumbria is one of England's highest villages, at around 1,500 feet . It was not built until the middle of the 18th century and was one of the earliest purpose-built industrial villages in Britain. Nenthead was a major centre for lead and silver mining in the North Pennines of Britain.
For many mine explorers Nenthead is a mecca as many miles of accessible mines remain. It features some of the most stunning mines in the country with several horse whims and a 260 feet (79 m) engine shaft in Rampghill. The mines closed in 1961 and there is a heritage centre displaying their history.
The economy of the village relies on tourism England's most popular long distance cycle route, the C2C, passes through Nenthead therefore bringing a lot of thirsty cyclists.
Next to the Miners arms is a Grade 2 listed Wesleyan Methodist chapel has not been used since 2002 but a recent Heritage Lottery Grant of £1.3 million and work starting on it becoming a cafe and community hub. The post office and community shop was once a reading room for the miners.
The Miners Arms is very popular with the coast to coast participants too which brings a constant influx throughout the year.
