There’s a chance to find out more about one of Warkworth’s most distinctive attractions over the coming weeks, when the town’s Cement Works Conservation Trust runs a series of walking tours around the ruins.
Three walks are planned for the last Sunday afternoon of the next three months – January 28, February 25 and March 31 – starting at 3pm.
Conservation trust founder John Tate says the walks are part of the group’s aim to protect and preserve the historic Wilson Road cement works and bring its story to a wider audience.
“We will discuss the history of the site and point out the purpose of the various remaining structures in the manufacture of lime products and the cement that the Wilson Brothers pioneered in the early days of Warkworth’s history,” he says.
Each walk will take around 45 minutes and is described as flat, easy and suitable for all fitness levels.
However, it will be dependent on the weather – if in doubt, contact John Tate on 021 175 6686. All welcome.
