Volunteers busy making improvements in the valley

We are very grateful to the numerous volunteers that regularly attend the sessions led by ranger Jenny Heskett. Recently, they have been working a number of improvements that help keep the valley well managed for public access, heritage and habitat.

If you would like to get involved with volunteer sessions, please contact Jenny on jenny.heskett@cormacltd.co.uk.

The Checkers Hut, a historic building at the top of the Great Wheel pit and the Incline Plane. This has been recently cleared by volunteers along with the plinth beside. Vegetation has been cleared from the viewing platform at the top of the Wheel Pit.

Repairs to a dog run on the leat path at the Cascade. A really high quality finish that should last a long time. Please remember not to let dogs jump into the leat as this causes erosion to a historic structure for which the Valley is unique.
