Pleasley Colliery (Scheduled Ancient Monument)

Highlight • Historical Site

Pleasley Pit Country Park, as its name suggests, is a reclaimed colliery site.

Now it is such a great place for nature lovers to see many different birds, wildflowers, butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies that it has just been designated as a local nature reserve.

In dramatic contrast to the country park you can see the remaining pit buildings which are now a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM).

Teversal Trail Old Railway Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

The railways here finally closed in 1978, since then nature has taken over and more recently the tracks have been turned into trails. The Teversal Trail that crosses this old bridge is a circular route following these old lines along the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border.
