Barbecues are not permitted at any of our sites.
The woodland, grassland and pond here provide a mosaic of habitats that are good for wildlife. We are managing the site to maintain and improve these habitats.
Around the site, the paths are surfaced to make it easy to get around - whether you are walking, cycling or horse riding. And if you want to explore further, follow the path to the Trans Pennine Trail, which will take you to the Chesterfield Canal or Rother Valley Country Park.
What you might see
At least 38 species of breeding birds make their home in the woodland and scrub. Listen for their song all year round.
In the spring see if you can hear the distinctive call of a chiff chaff or willow warbler singing in the trees.
On a warm summer’s day look for peacock butterflies basking in the grassland, or the speckled wood flitting along the woodland paths.
Watch out overhead and you may see a kestrel hovering, looking for a tasty snack. Buzzards have also been spotted soaring high above on thermal currents.
In the evening you could see bats flying around. They are our smallest mammals. You might also spot foxes foraging around the site.
