This site used to be one of the deepest Cole mines in the country, reaching over 250 feet (76 m) below the surface. Once the mines closed the area was rejuvenated and rewilded with the lake, wetland, grasslands and woods creating a diverse habitat for many species of flora and fauna. There are several trails, a children's playground, café and visitor centre.

Nice walk to take younger kids on, especially if they like Room on the Broom as there are wood carvings of characters from the book that tell the story as you go around the lake.
