    Hiking

    The UK's longest-running oil well. Following the site's discovery in 1959, it's been pumping continuously since 1961.

    Fascinating to see a nodding donkey, I did not realise we had any in the UK.

    There is a fact board in front of this which I should have taken a picture of explaining how it works and the structure of the ground beneath it.
