ラドクリフオントレントでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Lovely place to pause and peer through the trees at the sky and river.

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.

Enjoy the peace and tranquility of the beautiful, rural location that is Stoke Lock and Woods on the River Trent near Nottingham. The mature woodland around Stoke Lock was planted just after the lock was built in 1927, creating an excellent site for walkers and nature lovers. There are also some fascinating conservation projects taking place in the area. For instance the Netherfield Lagoons Local Nature Reserve. You'll discover more from the interpretation panel and listening posts on site. (source: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/places-to-visit/stoke-lock-and-woods)

A few gates but otherwise a really beautiful route to avoid the roads
