Discover the hidden story of Grin Low. This immersive audio trail takes you on a journey through 330 million years of history, from ancient tropical seas to the roaring lime kilns that once made this hillside the industrial heart of Buxton.

Along the way, meet Charlie the lime burner, Martha the quarry worker and the families who lived among the smoke and stone, as their stories bring the landscape to life. Combining geology, archaeology, industrial heritage and social history, this is a walk through a landscape where every path, spoil heap and tree has a story to tell.
