Lore of the land

Iron, water
and old stories.

These hills carry the marks of ironworkers, canal builders, drovers and dreamers. Alexander Cordell set his stories in this landscape; today the old tracks still run above the valley.

We’re collecting the history, names and family memories of the Dingle to share without sanding away the rough edges.
