ECOSAL-UK
Ecosal-UK will be a network of sites, organisations, bodies and individuals with an interest in historic salt making in the UK and its cultural links and associations.
Ecosal-UK was formed on 15 August 2013 following three years research by a team from Bournemouth University led by Professor Mark Brisbane who participated in an EU funded project - Ecosal-Atlantis to create the Traditional Salt Route of the Atlantic.
The UK does not have any traditionally working salinas like our continental partners, but does have a rich and varied heritage of salt making.
Through this network we intend to promote salt making in the past and in the present and integrate its associated cultural story.
