Tips from locals
You can learn about the remarkable way that people of that earlier era created an industry around iron. Read how they perfected the process of turning ore into ingots, and how they harnessed the power of a local stream, using it to run an ingenious turbine which generated the heated compressed air needed for the blast furnace. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy.
