A reclaimed former coal mine and spoil heap, currently being allowed to return by itself to wilder conditions, and surrounding farmland.
Burradon Country Park is a pleasant urban fringe site, fairly quiet, with a small lake, grassland and young trees (mostly self-sown), good for scrubland and grassland birds. The highest point offers clear viewing for visible migration. Nearby, a field with a low-lying area can develop a flash pool after particularly wet winters, giving potential for spring wader passage when suitable.
Best reached by bicycle. There is very limited car parking at the west edge of the site.
Note there are no facilities at the site. Most of the paths tend to get very wet and muddy in winter, though there are also few birds to look for then.
