This creative walk is led by artist Carole McCourt and offers a relaxed way to explore heritage\, ecology and the stories shaped by centuries of mining. \nStarting in the village square we will walk past the old blacksmith’s shop before heading into the quiet woodland paths that lead towards Pease Meadows. Here\, we pause to look closely at the extraordinary lead tolerant flowers that thrive in soils shaped by the area’s industrial past. These small but resilient plants are central to the Rooted in Lead project\, and the walk offers a chance to learn how they survive and what they can tell us about the history beneath our feet. \nThe route continues to the Mine Shop\, the former mine yard and the Bousteads\, where the landscape still carries the marks of the people who lived and worked here. Along the way\, we explore how mining shaped the village\, the land and the unique habitats that remain today.\nThis is a steady\, welcoming walk suitable for most abilities\, with plenty of time for conversation\, creative looking and shared discovery. \nPlease wear suitable footwear and weather appropriate clothing. Free refreshments will be available after the walk. \nAll ages are welcome (children must be accompanied by an adult and must be able to walk or be carried as the paths may not be suitable for pushchairs). Well behaved dogs on a short lead are welcome. \nOptional donation – suggested amount £3. Your donation enables the North Pennines National Landscape team to protect and restore this special place and help people connect with nature. \nPlease use the Ticketsource link to book. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n  \n    \nThis event is part of North Pennines NatureFest running from Saturday 23 May to Sunday 7 June 2026.
