The headstocks have gone... Removed in Dec 2023 due to health and safety. Apparently they're going to be rebuilt at some point in the future at an estimated cost of £220k. 😅 Typical local council shenanigans... Don't make the structure safe or put a fence around it... Spend quarter of a million quid to build a new replica. 🤡

Dominated by the resident heron, who didn't care one jot about all the noisy families picnicking nearby. 😅

This trail travels beside the picturesque Moorgreen Reservoir. It's a great path for walking, jogging and cycling and you are afforded lovely views of the lake and surrounding woodland.

Now (July 2024) reopened after flood damage and refurbishment. Still good. Takes cash and card.

Currently (Feb 24) closed for refurbishment due to flood damage - will open again soon

The church is medieval, built in the mid-15th century and was restored in 1882. It had previously been restored in 1753, 1772 and 1832. However, mining subsidence caused the tower to separate from the chancel and the nave, and in 1896 the church was virtually rebuilt at a cost of £2,000. The font pre-dates the church, being 14th century.

Incredibly muddy at some points following heavy and prolonged rain. We struggled getting around but managed it.

The Reserve, created on the site of the former Brinsley Colliery and the old mineral railway line that linked the colliery with Underwood, consists of a variety of habitats, which are linked by well-established paths, most of which can be walked throughout the year.
