Chatterley Whitfield Colliery - a photo on Flickriver

Chatterley Whitfield Colliery

After a walk along the Whitfield Valley Nature Reserve from the half-timbered Ford Green Hall, we took the steep track up the landscaped slag heap and then this was our view on the other side! There are my sons, just ahead of me, taking in the sight/site. National Cycle Route 55 runs beneath, on the beautifully laid tarmac path. A place to revisit!

The colliery used to be a the National mining heritage museum in the 1980s after the pit closed. The pit is now flooded, so tours can no longer be made underground. The buildings aren't in a good state, alas, but it's so interesting to see the variety and age range of them all clustered still together. There's a very active Friends group, however.

For a local mine tour, the tourist and enthusiast can visit nearby Apedale Heritage Centre, where there is a drift mine where you can take a guided tour. www.apedale.co.uk
