Home ~ Land of Iron

Discover a state-of-the-art attraction celebrating North Yorkshire’s famous Land of Iron.

Standing on the site of the first ironstone mine in Cleveland, Land of Iron allows you to get up close and explore a rich and fascinating history. This hands-on journey takes you back 150 years to a time of industrial revolution when the area and its people supplied over a third of the world's Iron and Steel.

Visit our Interactive Exhibition...

Journey back to a different time with the aid of photographs, mementos and objects that tell a fascinating story of the life and work of the miners and their families. The interactive exhibition is designed with every age in mind.

Step back in time with our fully guided tour and enter the drift tunnel

Our experienced guides will take you on a journey underground. Prepare to be plunged into total darkness as you listen to the story of our twelve-year-old “trappy” lad, then enter the tunnels to hear the blast. Don’t linger!

We have recently opened the North Drift to visitors for the first time in seven years.
