Gang Mine - Middleton by Wirksworth - This reserve is part of an ancient lead mining area" "Among the species that thrive here are the nationally rare spring sandwort, and alpine pennycress. Both are locally known as leadwort. The lead spoil grades into other open areas. In some, lichens dominate the ground cover, while in others colonising species such as kidney vetch and thyme dominate. These open areas provide ideal conditions for ground-hunting invertebrates such as wolf spiders and ground beetles" "There is limited parking for disabled visitors, by agreement with the neighbouring land owner, adjacent to the recreation ground and adjoining the reserve on the western boundary. All paths are uneven but several should be accessible to wheelchairs (accompanied) and people of limited mobility in dry weather." - from the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust website
