Join us on a guided walk of Linn Park to explore and learn about locations, now back to nature, where industry began and developed.

As part of the Doors Open Days Festival, join us for a walk to explore locations, now back to nature, where industry started and developed from the 17th century onwards. Learn about features that, at first glance, look natural, but are actually the man-made remnants of mills, quarries, and mines. The walk will be a loop of just under 5km/3 mi, starting at Snuff Mill Bridge, traveling first up the west bank of the River Cart, crossing the Ha'penny Bridge, and then returning through the park to Snuff Mill Bridge via the Seil Drive Park Entrance and Old Castle Road.

Open to all aged 16+
