    DescriptionThese hardy moors above Marsden have long been linked with its textiles past, and the woollen trade famously forged in the historical mills below. Now, with native seedlings and some tweed-covered pillows, the cycle comes full circle, and logs made from local wool are to help to restore its landscapes.
