Easington Colliery Nature Reserve

About

The site of the former Easington Colliery has been designated as a local nature reserve and has good car parking facilities very close to the coastal footpath.  

Easington Local Nature reserve has a network of footpaths running across the former colliery site.  The footpaths enable locals and visitors alike to walk around the nature reserve and enjoy the fantastic views of the surrounding countryside and coast. The footpaths will also encourage people not to stray into sensitive areas where there is an array of wildflowers and grasses providing a valuable habitat for insects and small mammals.

There is a replica of the mine shaft over-looking the sea and an interesting time-line leading up to it.
