Park Bridge features the carefully restored remains of an early Industrial settlement that rolled iron for the cotton spinning trade and other industries.

Wander around the site and discover the remains of buildings, old railway lines, and other artefacts, and grab a quick cuppa at The Stables Tearoom before continuing on your journey.
