West Midlands 2022
Apedale is a 454 acre country park. Formerly an open cast mine, the area has now been turned into this vast country park, with a mix of open areas and woodland. With varied terrain, and some wide, hardstanding paths the park provides trails for everyone. The lower visitors’ centre includes a café, mine tours and a steam train, whilst the upper visitors’ centre focusses on the environment.
Some areas of Apedale are conservation areas, other areas are liable to sudden ground movement because of the mine workings, therefore it is imperative that you do not cross any fences, or stray from the paths.
You are off the beaten path here, on what is marked as the Green Walk. Coming up through the trees it may feel like a fairy-tale forest.
