Steve's walk took 25 of us into the Poulter Country Park, through which passes the 11 mile Archaeological Way which will eventually link Pleasley Pit Country Park and Creswell Crags. The redevelopment of the Archaeological Way has inspired some excellent community arts projects, many of which now form the Sculpture Trail in the park. This is situated on the site of waste tips of Langwith Colliery which finished production in 1978 after 98 years of production. |
