Discover this picturesque woodland, located just west of Mansfield

Formally two colliery sites, Silverhill Wood has been transformed into a beautiful woodland through a process of coal washing, engineering, landscaping, fertilising and planting. Its mixture of rich broadleaf and conifer trees, open meadows and ponds make it a woodland not to be missed! 

Why not explore the woodland on the orienteering course, speed through the trees on two wheels or stop by the dog selfie area! 

It also boasts the views from the highest point in Nottinghamshire. The viewpoint is marked by an impressive miner's memorial statue.
