Pleasley Vale, 28th February 2016
Here are some images from today's walk starting in Pleasley Vale. This deep, narrow valley, formed by the River Meden cutting down through the underlying magnesian limestone escarpment, has been the location for industry since at least 1767, when two forges and a corn mill are known to have been operating, powered by the river.
