Found this place a year ago and is a little hidden gem of a place. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the dog fouling and am disgusted people don't pick up especially as I am a dog walker. We are not all like that and the minority as usual spoil it for the rest. All in all a lovely place to walk.

disgusting because of dog fouling people run a dog walking business around there not fit to take children purely used as a dogs toilet would have been better if it had been left as it was before

Richard Caink's facinating sculptures provide a welcome place to rest and remember the woodland's past as a coalmine.
