Descrizione
Silverdale Country Park was once mined for iron ore, coal, and gas from the late 18th century until the colliery’s closure in 1998. The park features two distinct areas: the Waste Farm Plateau, an open grassland with wildflowers, natural grasses, and young trees, and the Void, a dramatic steep-sided bowl with a striking pool at its base.
The Void’s shallow wetlands attract a wide variety of wildlife, including Pavoncella, Corriere piccolo, Folaga, Gallinella d'acqua, Moretta, Smergo maggiore, dragonflies, and amphibians, and is designated a Site of Biological Importance (SBI) for its valuable habitats. The Waste Farm Plateau and the woods surrounding it attract Forapaglie macchiettato, Saltimpalo, Picchio verde, Pispola and others.
In winter flocks of finches can be found flying around, including Organetto, Cardellino, Ciuffolotto, Verdone, Peppola. They are sometimes followed by raptors like Gheppio and Sparviere.
