Walking Midlands Coalfields
In the 21st century the British coal-mining industry is virtually non-existent. Yet this is certainly not true of the former coalfield sites. Throughout the Midlands region former mining sites in Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire, have been landscaped to produce as close a restoration to the quintessential English countryside.
But throughout the region more than enough remains to show the former uses of the area. Such as Silverdale remains an obvious scar on the landscape, albeit one rapidly returning to nature. The headstocks of Clipstone are, if anything, even more obvious. But all of the 26 walks in this book show some signs of the former mining industry.
Join the author in walking over a hundred miles around the Midlands.
