Heritage Walking Trail

The Heritage Walking Trail is a route between Forge Mill Needle Museum and the Arrow Valley Lake.

The walk is steeped in both history and wildlife with many interesting features along the way. You will see how the landscape reflects the changes from the monastic period through to the Victorian era to modern times.

The walk takes about an hour each way and both the Museum and Arrow Valley Lake serve light refreshments, have toilets and free car parking.
