  • Mould Side: Lead, Chert and Grit – a Circular Walk
    Mould Side: Lead, Chert and Grit – a circular walk About 3.8 miles / 6.1 km or 3-4 hours when you stop and look at the landscape. Good walking boots and appropriate clothing is essential. There are several short sections usually no more than 20 metres in length, which are steep climbs or decents of grassy banks. You can usually zig-zag up these. Walking down Stoddart’s Hush requires walking of rocks but this isn’t very difficult other than choosing your path over the rocks. Stoddart’s Hush, by far the most spectacular hush to visit, is one of those ‘off the beaten track’ places which is well worth the effort of getting there. I have placed all the photographs at the end of this document, so that you can just print the front 5 text pages of the guide to take with you. Location: From Reeth turn by The Buck Hotel to go up Arkengarthdale. Between the village of Langthwaite and the CB Inn turn left towards Low Row (sign post = Low Row). The lane climbs up hill passing some large lead mining spoil heaps. Just passed the last spoil heap the lane continues to climb, but after approximately 200m it passes over a flat bridge with stone side-walls, located at the bottom of Turf Moor Hush. Park either side of this bridge on the grass verge. There is plenty of room for many cars. Route: Using your GPS follow the route up Turf Moor Hush. The first 20 minutes is all up hill. About 75-80% of the hill climbing is done whilst your are fresh.

  • Swaledale Museum Newsletter 29 Spring 2020 Print
    Newsletter No.29 Spring 2020 A message from the Curator As I write this, in mid-April, I am hoping that we will be able to resume ‘service as normal’ in the Museum this season. However any forward planning has become an almost impossible task as the situation changes from week to week. Ever the optimist I have decided to assume that we will be re-opening on 21st May and be running our programme of events. However, checking ahead will be paramount as we adapt to the latest guidelines. One of the benefits of the lockdown has been longer and more considered messages between Lidar image of Reeth - thanks to Stephen Eastmead acquaintances. I have, for example, been receiving regular pages from an ‘electronic diary of the plague marginalia in much loved and favourite books. months’ from an elderly friend living in a small hamlet.

We try to help and support the work done in the Museum and personally, I have thoroughly enjoyed being a volunteer and meeting so many visitors. They are, very largely, extremely positive about their visit.

  • The Mines of Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge, Swaledale” British Mining No.48, NMRS, Pp.22-30
    BRITISH MINING No.48 MEMOIRS 1993 Barker, J.L. 1993 “The Mines of Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge, Swaledale” British Mining No.48, NMRS, pp.22-30 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1993. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.48 THE MINES OF DOWNHOLME MOOR AND THORPE EDGE, SWALEDALE. by J.L. Barker The mining fields of Downholme and Thorpe Edge, although in pastoral lower Swaledale, provide a bleak and windy aspect for much of the year. Part of the moor lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and this offers an element of protection for the mining remains. The whole terrain is now controlled by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) as a military training area, but the nature of this training is such that what remains of the mining activity is almost completely undamaged other than by the elements. These areas represent a relatively small mining field compared with those in upper Swaledale. Much of the land was owned by Coverham Abbey until the monastery was dissolved in 1537. Eventually, Downholme Moor passed to Lord Bolton of Wensleydale and Thorpe Edge to D’Arcy Hutton of Marske. In 1927 Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge were bought by the MoD from their respective owners. A further purchase of part of Downholme village was completed in 1931. Visual and documentary sources show that only four important veins were explored and these appear to be only a few hundred yards long. Most of the ore was mined in the Main Limestone and in the Richmond Cherts above.
