Langold Country Park was originally planned as a country house and park in the 18th century. The idea was revived in 1818 and although the house was never completed. By the 1890s a lake had been excavated and a weir with a single arch bridge had been constructed. During the early 20th century the area was developed for mining and the park became a leisure facility for the Langold miners, principally for fishing. In 1946 the coal mining industry was nationalised and the National Coal Board expanded the leisure facilities in the park. A lido or swimming pool was rebuilt in the early 1950s and a bandstand was added. In 1968 the mine closed and the park was taken over by the local authority. Mining equipment was moved and children's playgrounds and refreshment facilities were added.

Nice park with something for everyone to do

The park was formerly a mixture of meadows and marshy bullrush beds before the open cast excavation started. At the eastern side of the lake stands the Bedgrave Mill courtyard, where the visitor centre is located displaying the flood defence map and the original mill mechanism "flour into grain" exhibition from when it was a water mill. There is also a craft centre and "The Stables" cafe.

Lovely place to grab a coffee when it rains.

Great mix of cycle path and singe track around the lake - a very pleasant place to ride a bike. No cafe or toilet facilities by the lake, but a fine spot for a picnic or a paddle.

There is a small cafe that sells food and snacks and you can either sit inside or outside on the benches. This area has lots of benches and is a great place to see the ducks and birds... it's a great place for kids and families! There is also a shop selling ice creams and snacks as well. Lovely place to sit and admire the lake and right next to the car park.
