Industrial Spittal and Spa Resort - Guided Walk

In the 19th century people came to Spittal on holiday and to "take the waters" from its chaylbeate well. It continued to be a popular holiday resort until the 1960s. However, it also had another side. There were various industries here in the past, many of them concentrated at Spittal Point but also in other parts of the village. This walk will highlight remnants of this past which are still visible and build up a picture of the past.
