A very pleasant and enjoyable walk through glorious woodland, a community endeavour, built on the remains of an old colliery, this well managed area, provides a home for a wide range of flora and fauna. An interesting sculptured memorial to the miners of the colliery, which closed in 1924 in the middle and at the summit of the wood. Well worth s visit.

Lovely outdoor space to go walking, paths are easy to use and find, lots of benches to sit on and interesting and quirky things to see along the way.

Beautiful place to visit, loads of family oriented events throughout the year and wildlife conservation projects. Always seem to bump into familiar friendly faces there too, glad it's being looked after well these days and not going to ruin like so many other woodlands.

Lovely little woods for a walk round, like to go down here when it's raining as fairly sheltered and there's clear paths and then when it's hot into the woods to keep in the shade. A lot of bird life and interesting to see what they get up to sculpture wise. The information is also well received.

Lovely woodland with paths here, there and everywhere! Boards to read and wildlife to spot plus benches and a pond! Not forgetting woodland dens and derbyshire rocks! Beautiful.. please keep hold of litter, dogs and dog poo to keep it lovely for everyone! Thanks 😊
