Bestwood Country Park
Explore woodland, open ground and traces of a former colliery in this large country park north of Nottingham, with the surviving winding engine adding an industrial dimension.

Keep exploring Nottingham with our travel partners.
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.
