I understand that these industrial heritage sites restored for tourism often have difficulty in determining how to use the space no longer used for its original function. However, after a couple of photos, you're better off walking back to your car and parking near the visitor centre itself (near the yellow metal gate with the UNESCO symbol), again free of charge. He was the product of self-help; a paternalist. For those not as exhausted by travelling as I was at this point, Glasgow provides you with a very good nightlife and numerous nice bars. Aujourd'hui, la plupart des bâtiments ont été restaurés et le village est devenu une attraction touristique importante. En plus des 20 propriétés privées du village, 45 propriétés appartiennent et sont gérées par la New Lanark Association, qui est une association résidentielle reconnue.

A good place to develop into Utopia!


Until 1785 the deep gorge of the River Clyde to the south west of

Ils conservèrent la propriété du village, d'abord eux-mêmes puis à travers les entreprises qui leur succédèrent, jusqu'à la fermeture des usines en 1968.

Une ligne de bus relie le site à Le village dispose d'un hôtel trois étoiles (le New Lanark Mill Hotel, détenu et géré par le New Lanark Conservation Trust), d'un certain nombre d'appartements de vacances (les "Waterhouses") mis à disposition par l'hôtel, et d'une La "Clyde Walkway" est une allée piétonne qui traverse le village. It was founded in 1786 by David Dale, who built cotton mills and housing for the mill workers. It is indeed a fascinating site, located in a beautiful location in southern Scotland, but it does lack a coherent adult message.

Après la fermeture, les habitants commencèrent à quitter le village, et les bâtiments se détériorèrent. Being the second owner of New Lanark in the early 19th century, it provided him with a platform for experimenting with his socialistic ideas. Owen himself sailed for America, where he had purchased a Utopian community called New Harmony. Somewhat of a strange site, though interesting.

Les usines prospérèrent sur le plan commercial, mais les partenaires d'Owen se plaignirent des dépenses supplémentaires occasionnées par ses programmes sociaux. I have to say I did not particularly like this site, not because I disagree with OUV or because I didn't find anything interesting, but because of some strange atmosphere. Having looked at maps before my visit I had always seen the town’s layout as a little odd, but upon reaching the crest of the valley in which it sits it all suddenly made sense. Most egregious is the weird tram-like gondolas that take through the story of one of the historical residents. The Village Store went from strength to strength, with its profits

There's a lot to see and do for children, but not so much for people over 12.Like some of the Derwent Valley Mills (another UK WHS, related to this one and very much alike in atmosphere) some of the buildings are used for uninteresting shops.

Robert Owen was a man ahead of his time.

Un grand parking gratuit est situé à l'extérieur du village.

This turned out to be the perfect location for his future venture. lower the prices paid by the workers and increase the quality of goods Arriving Glasgow late in the evening, I decided to withdraw to my hotel room and save my energy for my visit to the cotton mill New Lanark on the following morning. Consisting of four mill buildings, several terraced housing units and a scattering of extra buildings such as a school, engine house and a church, the site is nestles tightly along a bend in the River Clyde, surrounded on all sides by wooded hills. It had been established in 1785 by David Dale and Richard Arkwright. In 1799, the partnership bought the extensive cotton mills and workers’ village at New Lanark, with Owen as manager. Owen also established a Sick Fund for workers.

He was the founder of the Co-operative movement and believed in worker control although he was a high capitalist himself.

The lovely location and beautiful natural surroundings also help a lot to make the visit worthwhile.

But by the standards of the day

And I think this is the easiest place to see the emblem of UNESCO World Heritage Site that write in Scottish Gaelic - Dualchas na Cruinne.From Edinburgh I stopped at Lanark by train on my way to the Glasgow airport. New Lanark needs a little sprucing up in its tourism appeal. In 1824 Owen sold his interests in New Lanark to his largely Quaker partners, who carried on much as he had intended. However, the presentation is very modern, and doesn’t feel very in keeping with the setting. Owen also established a Sick Fund for
