Land of Iron
150 years ago many parts of the North York Moors looked very different to the present day. The valleys and hills were filled with fire, smoke and noise as they helped fuel the industrial revolution.
A short but intense period of ironstone mining and railway construction left a huge impact on the landscape and its communities that can still be seen today.
This history can be celebrated and explored at Land of Iron, a brand-new attraction which stands on the site of the first ironstone mine in the area, in the coastal village of Skinningrove.
Land of Iron will show you the rich and fascinating industrial heritage of the area. Don your hardhat and venture inside the mine with an experienced guide leading the way. An interactive exhibition highlights amazing artefacts and a regular programme of new exhibitions and events means that you will always find something new to discover.
