Nestled in the beautiful North Pennines, this striking stone arch is a remnant of the region’s rich industrial heritage and a symbol of the area’s mining past.

About Rookhope Arch: The Rookhope Arch was originally part of the Rookhope Smelt Mill, constructed in the 19th century during the height of lead mining in the North Pennines. This large stone structure was used to support a flue system that ran for several miles, carrying harmful gases away from the smelting process to a chimney on the nearby moors.
