Guided Walk Alum Quarries Mulgrave Woods - Saturday 24th April 2010

For the Cleveland I.A. Soc., Simon Chapman will be leading a walk on Saturday 24th April to look at alum quarries in Mulgrave Woods. The meeting place is in the car park at East Row, near Sandsend, outside the former cement mill at 11 am. (NZ 861125).

This circular walk will be over 4 miles in length along well-defined tracks with some moderate gradients but may be muddy in places. There are three sites of alum quarrying, the site of an ironstone shaft, and a number of drifts into the hillside seeking cementstone.

In addition, the ancient and recently conserved ruins of Mulgrave Castle may be visited.

Hopefully, tea and biscuits will be provided at the walk's conclusion, but please bring a packed lunch and some good weather.

Look forward to seeing you there,

Simon Chapman
