Land of Iron Museum
Durham and North East
Skininngrove

Discover a brand-new 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.

Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum is situated in Skinningrove, a small village nestled in a narrow valley on the Cleveland coast. There is a lot to do in the surrounding area: with Saltburn in the north, a Victorian seaside resort notable for its Valley Gardens, miniature railway and the last surviving north-eastern pier, and Whitby to the south, famed for Dracula and the haunting ruins of the gothic abbey.
