Formerly the site of the Orgreave open cast coal mine, there's a large housing development under construction on the North West bank. Many species of birds can be seen including Ringed Plovers and Oystercatchers at certain times of the year.

70 Acre hill was once part of Tinsley Park Colliery and now it's a nature reserve and a cracking viewpoint across the city. There are even some Highland Cattle up there - not what you expect to see around the back of a business park!
