Unmissable tourist sites Where to sleep? Abbeydale Travel guide
Abbeydale : Michelin's recommendations As early as 1714, scythes
were being forged under water-powered tilt hammers in this very
old industrial hamlet. A furnace was installed early in the 19C
and clay crucibles were made on site. The works ceased
production in 1933 and became a museum in 1970. The manager's
house, workmen's cottages, forge, grinding hull, water wheels
and riveting shop are open to visitors.
