NX9721 : Former Slag Tip
near to Lowca, Cumbria, Great Britain
Former Slag Tip
This pleasant hill at the entrance to the Solway Firth was once used as a slag tip by a smelting operation at nearby Lowca. A source of some danger to adventurous lads at that time - the slag was molten when tipped, and cooled at its own pace underneath a dark grey crust - it is now returned to its former character and is used by hang gliders.
