Harkers Farm Shop

Highlight • Rest Area

A great place to call in for refreshments and to feed or pet the animals (free for customers).

There's no restaurant / cafe as such but you could buy drinks and cakes and eat them in the yard while looking at the goats / peacocks / alpacas etc.

Colliery Canal Lock Gates

Highlight • Bridge

The colliery closed in 1993 and the park opened in 2000. The gates are no longer in use as the canal has become overgrown at this point, although they look to be in working condition.
