Located in Rothwell Country Park - easy walking on gravel paths - suitable for all.
This is a large scale colliery reclamation scheme involving just under 25 hectares of new woodland. A patchwork of woodland, scrub and meadowland has been created along with marshlands, ponds and streams, while special areas have been designated for their nature conservation and historical interest.
Vehicular access is through Bullough Lane, where car parking is available. Pedestrian access is from the Aire and Calder canal, which is part of the T.P.T.
There are sculptures, a sun dial, woodland craft areas, a stone circle, a bird feeding station, a maze and a bird screen, two trails and multiple footpaths run through the site with information panels explaining the various old coal mining features which can still be seen today.
Cache contents:
Model car, Smelly candle, Pen, Mini stapler, Mirror, Torch, Paint brush.
The container is fairly small so small swaps are the order of the day.
This cache forms another in the Aire & Calder Navigation series, all of which are on or near the towpath which forms part of the T.P.T.
