Cotes Park Woods

Highlight • Trail

The entrance to Cotes Park Woods is marked by a Large yellow Miner's wheel sign, woodland trail for about a mile, several forked paths some leading out to houses, other to a dead end, but possible for dogs to go under fence and probably possibly for people to climb over but I didn't try.

Alma J. Watchorn Park

Highlight • Historical Site

A park donated by Robert Watchorn, in tribute to his wife. There is much more information about the whole Watchorn complex & development and about Watchorn himself on the English Heritage Pastscape website. His story takes him from a cottage on the site where the church was later built and working in Shirland pit to America where he became Secretary of the National Miners Union of America, with a gold medal for his bravery during one mining disaster. He was instrumental in passing the Factory Act, which prohibited children under 14 years of age from working 12 hour shifts in the factories. In 1905 President Roosevelt appointed him Commissioner of Immigration on Ellis Island, New York. By 1916 he was President of his own Watchorn Gas and Oil Company in Oklahoma City, which gave him the wealth to endow various churches, colleges and libraries – including in his home town of Alfreton.

Alfreton Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Updated October 2022: school moved/extended to the site on another side of the park - A large park with easy walking both across and around the track (mainly for horses) with lots of old trees, plenty of birds and wildlife, Alfreton Cricket Club (where you can often watch matches in the Summer) and Alfreton Hall at the other end. Various entrances and exits at different intervals around the park. At certain times (dog training lessons/cricket clubs etc) parking verge is quite busy but there is turning space further up and a car park to the left but currently only surfaced with big stones that don't do tyres a lot of good. Dog bins on either side of park and plenty of benches at different intervals to rest on.
