This is a 40 Hectare site created by the County Council on the site of the old Snibston Colliery. It contains a large exhibition hall and museum. We have used it for orienteering for many years and with financial assistance from the National Forest have created a permanent orienteering course there. The grounds are fairly extensive with small hills providing enough physical challenge and rewarding views and there is a good mixture of woodland, copses, hedgerows, ponds, steams, ditches and grassland areas often interspersed with gorse.
