From Braithwaite, take the road to 'Newlands Valley'. There is limited parking along this route and the road is narrow and busy. It is therefore best to park at Uzzicar Car Park which is just after the Barrow scree Slopes. Walk the further stretch.

 Take the old mine track which climbs on the right hand side. Follow this track all the way round the back of barrow. You will eventually come to a section with lots of fallen debris on the track and a mixture of heather, rocks, quartz and peat all on an embankment. This is where most of the minerals can be found.
