Site Details

A disused coalmine, reclaimed by Notts County Council into a Country Park, Agricultural land and proposed building land. Thousands of trees and shrubs have been planted and there are several lakes that attract water fowl. There is a good system of gravel pathways throughout the park. The old Nottingham-Grantham Canal passes through the park and this provides a corridor of established habitat that includes reedbeds and good growths of hawthorn and willow. The eastern end has a rough area of shallow pools, reeds and bulrushes which has recently held good numbers of both Common and Jack Snipe. This site will improve for birds as the habitats become more established.
