    Hiking

    great use of an old open cast coal mine. There is a parking charge, though🙄, but there are toilets and normally a mobile coffee shop, plenty of walks around several lakes

    Hiking

    Sence Valley Forest Park is a significant area of woodland planting which has transformed the former opencast coal mining site, in north-west Leicestershire, into a haven for wildlife and visitors. The coal mine closed in 1996 and only two years later 98,000 Corsican pine, larch and poplars trees were planted. Another 100 acres of land was bought in 2018 and this was planted with a range of coniferous and broadleaved trees, as a sustainable forest for the future.
