Why go

Bestwood combines a substantial green escape with the physical remains of coal mining. Choose a walk through its varied landscape and use the winding engine house as a reminder of what once occupied the site. The terrain is hilly, so plan a route that suits your group; the heritage interior has much narrower opening than the park itself.

What to look for

  • Woodland and open ground support varied wildlife habitats.
  • The winding engine house survives from Bestwood Colliery.

Useful to know

  • Choose a route that suits your group; the terrain includes steep gradients.
  • Check engine-house access separately from the park walk.
