Gedling Country Park sits in 250 acres of the former Gedling
Colliery site. The park is the last of the former
colliery sites in the area to be redeveloped.
The colliery closed down in 1991 and has stood abandoned
for almost 25 years.
With over 9 miles of paths and cycle tracks, ponds and
wildlife habitats the park commands spectacular views across
Nottinghamshire and into neighbouring Lincolnshire and
Leicestershire.
Volunteering at the park.
We need and value people from all walks of life.
Please contact us if interested:

Wildlife check list of
some of the species identified
within the park

Welcome to our first wildlife check list.
We hope to considerably expand these lists over the next
few years and to create a definitive record of all the
wildlife within the country park.
The aim of the ‘Friends of Gedling Country Park’ is to
create an environmentally friendly park consisting of native
species of flora and fauna as well as providing areas of
relaxation and enjoyment for all.
Join the ‘Friends of Gedling Country Park’ to have your say
in the future of the park and to help preserve the beauty of
its environment.
