クリプストンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Great trail through the woods - magnificent pine trees! Looks like it could get a bit muddy in places if there's been a lot of rain 🌧️ - Great in the dry though! This is a good link as you move on to Laming Gap Lane and then join the bridleway to get you safely over the A46 and journey on to the villages of Kinoulton, Hickling and beyond...🚴👍

There are four colour-coded & waymarked routes to follow. There is now a ☀️⚡Solar Power Station on site at Stragglethorpe

Formerly the site of Cotgrave Colliery, one of the most modern pits in Britain, employing up to 2,000 people it closed in 1993. The coal was used to fuel the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station. The shafts were filled-in, the land was reclaimed and the Park opened in 2000.

Narrow section of mostly natural woodland path through the trees alongside the stream.

Formerly the run-off collection pond for the colliery spoil tips, now a picturesque fishing lake run by Cotgrave Welfare Diamond Angling Club.

The colliery closed in 1993 and the park opened in 2000. The gates are no longer in use as the canal has become overgrown at this point, although they look to be in working condition.

Most suitable for Gravel and MTB

I walked this way at the weekend and it is all fenced off now. The fencing is complete with three strands of barbed wire at the top so it seems pretty obvious they want to keep everyone out, but no signs explaining why.
