Eskdale describes five short walks around the Eskdale ironstone mining country to the south of the ore field. The sites investigated are as diverse as Sleights and Skelton Tower. This area was earliest to be developed and contributed to the growth of Grosmont. All the walks are accessible from stations on either the Esk Valley Railway or the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Those walkers with an interest in mining will find this book irresistible.
