Rother Valley Country Park

Highlight • Rest Area

A 740-acre (300 ha) country park on the site of an old open-cast coal mine. The site cost £4 million to remediate with the four artificial lakes filling the old extraction sites. The River Rother was so polluted that water from The Moss was used to fill the lakes. The reed beds and remediation process has cleaned up the Rother and the lakes and country park also act as a flood prevention scheme, holding water and managing the flow downstream.

It's also a popular leisure destination with cable water skiing and a narrow-gauge railway as well as a network of well-maintained paths.

The visitor centre has information about the history of the site and the flood defence scheme. There are toilets and the Stables Cafe.

An interesting cable-stayed footbridge over the river Rother near the northern lake in Rother Valley Country Park. The bridge was designed in the 1980's to withstand bank subsidence. It connects the country park with the Waleswood area.
