Grassmoor Country Park

Grassmoor Country Park is located four miles south-east of Chesterfield, the park is accessed from Birkin Lane and is open daily for fishing, horse-riding, cycling and walking. Whether is a summer stroll in the open meadows, a family picnic amongst the butterflies or a horse trek to take in the beautiful scenery, there is something for everyone.

The site is also the start of an interesting walk called the Five Pits Trail. It takes you along all the old colliery sites in the area. The eight mile trail has many picnic sites on the way and serves as a real countryside retreat.

Because of the varied habitat, the wildlife at Grassmoor is abundant and you are likely to spot all manner of species from the harmless Grass Snake with its distinct yellow neck band and round eye pupil, to Kestrels hovering overhead searching for mice and voles below.
