The RSPB site is the main draw but a bonus is the awesome relic of this former opencast coal mine which is the behemoth Walking Dragline Excavator parked by the side of the RSPB cafe. The stretch of walk on the west from the Lemonroyd Marina is a bit dull being enclosed by a wire fence but once the waterways of the bird sanctuary open up, the walk becomes a delight. Easy walking, all on the flat and about 5 miles in length.
