Lead mining scars at Beldi Hill Remarkably invisible from the popular public bridleway along the Swale left bank in Keld Gorge just a quarter kilometre to the south, the Beldi Hill workings have left a huge scar. A large chunk has been washed out of Hall Edge by hushing (a crude but effective form of hydraulic mining) over a long period, with the ore being transported to facilities downhill and to the east for smelting into lead.
