This Exploited Land of Iron
This Exploited Land of Iron tells the fascinating story of this
trailblazing period of industrial growth and exploitation. The project
will conserve and protect some of the most iconic structures and
landscapes that remain, help nurture the wildlife that has reclaimed
these spaces, and ensure this important part of our history is not
forgotten.
Esk Valley Railway will be working with NYMNP and Moors Bus to
enable access to the project sites via public transport. To this end,
the recent announcement of year-round Sunday train services is a timely
boost to this aim.
