Lime and Ice Project

The Lime and Ice project creates opportunities for people to learn about, explore and enjoy the landscape heritage of the south-west corner of the North York Moors National Park and the northern part of the adjoining Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The project is part of the CAN DO Partnership’s aim to promote understanding and access to the area’s cultural and natural heritage.

A range of activities is provided each year including guided walks, talks and working with young people through schools programmes and events. In September 2009 a month long archaeological excavation took place at Boltby Scar promontory fort. This provided a fantastic opportunity for the volunteers who were involved in excavating as well as increasing our understanding about the area’s history. You can read more about the excavation by visiting the excavation blog.

The project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund with additional financial support provided by the North York Moors National Park Authority, the Howardian Hills AONB, English Heritage, Natural England and the Forestry Commission. The five year project began in 2008.
