Descripción

The area consists of wide gravel paths, easily accessible for wheelchair & mobility scooters. It consists of scrubland, a large pond at the old pit top 3 small ponds which is fantastic for dragon & damselflies in the warmer months & a long thin pond to the south.

There are benches around the park and a cafe in the old pit complex that is open 10am-2pm on weekdays, serving hot drinks & food. It is run by volunteers from the local villages. Pleasley Pit Country Park is best visited in the cooler months during the Autumn Migration where Cuchara Común, , Avefría Europea, Cerceta Común, Ánade friso & Cormorán Grande can be seen on the large pond. With chances of local rarities like Combatiente & Chorlito Dorado Europeo

There is a bird hide on the west bank, the key can be obtained from the Nature Group for a charge of £7.00 membership & £3.00 key deposit. There is a purpose built Avión Zapador nesting bank which is well managed & attracts a large amount of birds in the summer to breed. Near to the entrance of the cafe a bird feeding station has been set up which attracts Camachuelo Común, Verderón Común & Escribano Palustre among other common species. Parking has recently been changed to a paid car park, £2.50 for the entire day, or if you frequent, a season pass can be purchased for £20 for the year. It is a Pay-By-Phone system and is ANPR monitored.

There are a number of small, wooded areas dotted around the park & 2 large wildflower meadows. Aside from birds, this park is excellent for butterflies & roe deer, the latter of which can be very tame, being occasionally seen browsing around the area of the pond, even during peak times.
