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.

The Holme Pierrepont Country Park is home to the national water sports centre. There is a long boating lake used for water sport racing and swimming/triathlon events. There is also a multi-user trail around the lake and footpaths exploring the 270-acre country park away from the lake shores. The lakeside trail gets busy with events or families and bikes at weekends, but the footpaths are never too busy for a nice walk.

The café in the national water sports centre serves sandwiches, light meals, snacks and drinks with a great view of the lake. It's open on weekends and school holidays.

Part of Colwick Country Park, the stretch of land between the lakes and the River Trent is an interesting place to walk. You can see the boast in the mariners and the peaceful lake.

Colwick Country Park is a public park owned by Nottingham City Council. The Colwick estate which the park is based on is the gardens of Colwick Hall. There are a couple of lakes and areas of woodland and wetland habitat. The river Trent runs to the south and the racecourse and busy A612 run to the north.

West Lake is part of the Colwick Country Park. It's 24 acres, a bit less than half the size of the main lake. West lake is used as an open water swimming site, managed by Nottingham City Council.

A Local Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire The Netherfield Lagoons, Local Nature Reserve is situated on the Trent Valley Flood Plain in Nottinghamshire and has been partly used as a dump for coal slurry but with two remaining gravel ponds. The two slurry pits are separated by a raised causeway, which is elevated some 50 feet (15 m) above the pits, giving a commanding view of the area. The largest tank is virtually full but retains some water, with muddy edges attractive to waders and roosting gulls and terns. The smaller tank is mainly deep water, attracting good numbers of wildfowl, with smaller birds, especially warblers, feeding and breeding around the tank edges. The site consists roughly of three compartments, the Slurry Lagoon, the Deep Pit and the two Gravel Pits. (source: https://www.gedlingconservationtrust.org/netherfield-lagoons/)

The now derelict St John the Baptist Church was built by Sir John Byron in the 16th century, incorporating 14th and 15th century sections from an earlier church. It was restored again in 1684 by Sir John Musters and was in use until the mid-1930s when it was no longer repaired, the nave roof collapsed and it was abandoned as dangerous and left to ruin. source: https://travellerj.com/2018/12/18/ruins-of-st-johns-church/

Very scenic and a hive of activity in fair weather.

Great spot to watch the white water canoeists.

This reserve, created in 1982, is believed to be the first of its kind in the country laid out specifically for the benefit of wheelchair users. Once a commercial gravel pit, this area has been colonised with plants and animals. A range of wetland birds can be seen on the reserve, such as great crested grebe, kingfisher and reed bunting.
