I love Ore Valley

Sat 12 Sept 11am - 4pm : Trails & Walks

A day of discovery in the beautiful hidden valley on your doorstep.

Come and join local residents and ONE TWO ONE artists Mary Hooper and Elise Liversedge on a walk through the valley finding traces of past lives: from power stations to pig pens, work houses to tin towns. Or just come and pick the last of the blackberries and make your very own Ore Valley jam.
