The landscape now dominated
by the local Swaledale sheep was only as
little as 150 years ago an industrial landscape
filled with the smoke and fumes from the lead
mining industry.
In line with other books in the series 10
walks have been selected with the majority
being short and easy; suitable for a half day
with the family, but also including a couple
more challenging walks to give a taste of the
fell walking also available.The walks explore
both the riverbank and the remains of the
lead mining heritage.
