Where are we? |
|
Ecton lies in Staffordshire, in the south-west corner of the Peak District National Park in the valley of the River Manifold. The nearest villages are Warslow and Hartington. Set on Ecton Hill itself, the G A Cox Study Centre, named after the late owner, and now owned by the Ecton Mine Educational Trust, is used as a base for the day, providing basic field laboratory facilities enabling mineral testing, and other mineral and environmental activities. |
