Had a look around,they have done a great job with it. Had a 5 mile run around the reserve,saw some Kestrel chicks nesting in the giant excavator . I just about remember it as a working mine which I would guess closed in the 1980's. Anyone any old photos theay could post please.

I've seen this publicised recently and intend to get there soon, so glad to hear it lives up to the promise.
