ROCK MILL CENTRE
Nature focused interpretation for a visitor centre in the Peak District
Interpretation includes an interactive 3D map that highlights the benefits of rewilding, a floor mural of a healthy river and a range of informative panels and flaps.
ONCE & FUTURE
Choose from 5 different time periods to see what this area of the Peak District was like… or could be like in the future.
Each animation gives an overview of the area, covering The Stone Age, The Middle Ages, The Industrial Revolution, Present Day and The Future. Details within them give insights into the time, from Mammoths on the Kinder Plateau to walkers enjoying the scenery.
Our optimistic vision of the future is based on rewilding plans for The Peak District that are underway. It was developed in consultation with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. The illustrations are by Phoebe Swan.
Additional panels and activities include: Stories (a panel of research that adds context to the animations), Actions (that visitors can do to help nature, including a touch screen for more info); Maps (for kids to colour their visions of the future) and more.
A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT
Follow this healthy river through the Centre. Meet water-loving creatures, features and folk along the way. Lift the flaps to find out more about them.
Phoebe Swan designed the river, which was painted by her and Shaun Gillon.
