We really enjoyed this walk and the views it provided of the surrounding countryside. I thought it was a good use of what would otherwise have been an eyesore opencast mine. Intead we have a fantastic artwork the public can enjoy and benefit from. I think the volunteers who work here really do an excellent job keeping this attraction maintained and open. Very highly recommended as a very unusual attraction and a fantastic walk suitable for all ages and mobility categories.

Lovely space to walk the dogs and enjoy the views, with quite the best cheese scones ever on offer in the cafe! I had a plain cheese (delicious) and my husband had the cheese, bacon and black pudding variant. Really great baking, lovely service too.

Visited here a couple of days ago and if I’m honest I was a bit underwhelmed. It’s very clever how it’s all been put together but such a shame that there are no higher viewing points where you can see the lady. I think the planners missed a truck there. It’s very hard to get a sense of where are when you walk around it. Once at the top the view is nothing special, it’s quite industrial and there are no nice countryside views. Ok if you’ve nothing better to do and it is free but I’d not go back.
