As with others my main memory of this site was how idyllic it looks now, this may stand as an obstacle to understanding its industrial past but it does make for a rather enjoyable stop over.

A bit of a navigational glitch (I got us lost) meant we arrived just as the doors to the little museum closed, as such we had to make do with strolling around the well preserved wooden buildings. The main ironworks were impressive but I could only really guess at how it functioned. Initially I thought that this was the limit of the site however it was pretty clear that there was more too it. The immaculately preserved collection of workers houses and storage buildings proved to be a wonderful place to wander around on a bright Northern European night. The babbling water drew us towards the forge and also allowed us to watch the impressive bird life in the abundant trees.

All in all it was a lovely place to visit, it was tough to get a grasp of the industrial importance of the site, but perhaps the museum and guided tours could address this.
