Parc Slip Mining Memorial and Wooden Badger Sculpture
Highlight • Monument
Disaster struck in 1892, when an explosion down in the pit killed 112 men and boys as well as 16 ponies. Today you can see a memorial made of stones as a tribute to the lives lost in this tragic incident.
There's a great shared path through the reserve, where you can see many different species of birds, mammals and invertebrates across the wildflower meadows and wetlands.
Keep an eye out for the wooden badger too!
