    Snibston's potential was spotted by George Stephenson, 'father of railways' whilst building a railway in the area. He bought the land when valuable coal reserves were discovered in the area. In 1832 he founded no. 1 and no. 2 pits that operated for for more than 150 years.

    Although you can see the Colliery buildings and machinery, all evidence of the mining is gone and replaced by a wonderfully ecologically diverse park to explore. There is also a cafe to have a bite to eat and a museum to learn more about the mining history.
