Longlands Lake is in a country park on the site of an iron
ore mine, Longlands Mine, four pits sunk between 1879 and
1904. The River Ehen and other streams were diverted away
from the mining activity. After the mine was abandoned the
galleries flooded, and then the ground sank, and was
flooded, making the lake.
