Nenthead used to be an important centre of lead mining in the area, especially in the late 18th century. A mining company run by the Quakers at this time contributed greatly to the prosperity of the village by establishing a school, a reading room, and the village hall. Housing for workers was provided by building houses.
Nestled in the middle of the barren and wild Pennine plateau, the climate in this area is said to be colder than in Aberdeen, Scotland. Nenthead, with its surrounding valleys, a shop, a café and visitor centre in all its beauty, is a gem on the C2C route and definitely worth a visit.
