Silverhill Car Park to Pleasley Headstocks via the Teversal Trail. Returning via the Skegby Trail.
A 9 mile circular, undulating in parts but generally an easy-going walk on traffic-free trails, starting at Silverhill Car Park, passing the ‘Testing for Gas’ miners’ statue, continuing along the Teversal Trail to lunch at the Pleasley Headstocks and museum, then returning via the Skegby Trail — and the bonus was a nice sunny day.
The walk highlights included:
- Mining heritage landmarks, including the “Testing for Gas” statue.
- Long, traffic-free sections on the Teversal Trail and Skegby Trail.
- Pleasley Headstocks industrial heritage site and museum.
- Great in dry, bright weather with plenty of open views
