The Lumsdale Valley is a site of national archaeological and historic importance. Owned by the Arkwright Society, an educational charity devoted to the rescue of the industrial heritage buildings & associated landscape. The mills and the associated water management features form one of the best examples in Britain of a water-powered industrial archaeological site. Its uniqueness comes from seeing such an extensive use of waterpower in such a relatively small area, and in 2014, it was scheduled as an Ancient Monument by Historic England. The permissive path that runs through the mill ruins at the middle of the valley will be open daily from 9am to 8pm. This does not affect any Public Rights of Way that run through the rest of the valley. No picnicking, climbing, paddling, swimming or commercial photography. Do not enter fenced off areas. Help us to take care of this special place for people, wildlife and history. Stick to the paths, take your litter home, do not climb on ruins.
