Ivy Tor Mine is within the Dartmoor National Park and therein collecting of anything is banned. It is also on land privately owned by people with a suspicion of any perceived 'intruder'.
That said, the site is most easily accessed from the public footpath along the valley floor from the village of Belstone, following the path down to the stream and then along its bank until one gets to the portal of the mine at the junction of Ivy Tor water with the 'Taw'.
The mine adit discharges into the stream and it is in this area that native Bismuth associated with arsenical pyrites has been found in the past.
The adit itself was water filled to waist depth earlier this year (2005) and does not seem to give one access to the mine proper. The adit area is covered by heavy growth of native shrubs/small trees and is quite hidden from 30 yards away.
