点评:I wasn't sure what to expect as I couldn't download a map in advance. I knew about the colliery buildings and they were interesting to wander round. We didn't take a tour, but ones are sometimes available.
We then wandered off to have a walk and try and find some of the sculptures mentioned and also the nature reserve. Whilst the trails are colour coded, you don't really know where you are. Although you can't get lost, you can't find what you're looking for either. Maps are definitely needed at major junctions - we never found the nature reserve for that reason.
We also only found one sculpture which was amazing, made from scrap metal, but there was nothing about the artist. Where are the other sculptures? In the end we seemed to stick the main path and then a road that led us back to the car park.
For families it is excellent as there is a play area and tracks for bikes, a cafe and toilets and even for a day the parking is only £3 - pay on exit.
翻译:由于无法提前下载地图,我不确定会有怎样的体验。我事先知道那里有煤矿相关的建筑,漫步其中也挺有意思的。我们没有参加导览游,不过偶尔也会有这类活动。
随后我们便四处闲逛,试图找到那些被提及的雕塑以及自然保护区。虽然步道设有颜色标识,但你其实很难知道自己身处何处。虽说不会迷路,却也找不到想找的东西。在主要路口绝对需要地图——正因如此,我们始终找不到那个自然保护区。
我们只发现了一件用废金属制成的精美雕塑,但上面没有任何关于创作者的信息。其他的雕塑都在哪里呢?最后我们沿着主路走,又顺着一条路才回到停车场。
对于家庭游客来说这里非常不错:有游乐区和自行车道,还有咖啡馆和洗手间。即便待上一整天,停车费也只需3英镑——在离开时付费即可。
