New Hucknall Colliery in Huthwaite opened in 1877 and employed around 500 people, increasing the population of Hucknall village to more than 2,000 by 1881. This workforce went up to more than 1,300, but it was actually the manufacture of hosiery products that became the major industry in the region. New Hucknall Colliery closed with other mines in the area in the early 1980s.

The church dates from 1903 and the stone was taken from a seam in the local colliery and delivered to the site by the colliers.

This lake is a picturesque rest stop on a bike ride, especially scenic in spring with blooming wildflowers. It's thought to be the highest point in Nottinghamshire, and has a wide gravel track going through for easy access.

Pleasley Pit Country Park is a nature reserve and historical site located on the Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire border. It was once the site of Pleasley Colliery, a coal mine that operated from the mid-19th century until it closed in 1983. The park is home to a café, lake and pleasant walking trails.

Well worth seeing and easy to get too in the country park
