Forge Valley is a national nature reserve of more than 63 hectares in the North York Moors National Park in North Yorkshire, England, following the route of the River Derwent. It was formed by meltwater at the end of the last ice age, and its woodland cover is roughly 6,000 years old. The valley takes its name from historical iron production, when charcoal was cut from its forests for use in forges, including a foundry that operated north of the valley from 1798; it is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is managed by Raincliffe Woods Community Enterprise CIC.
