Bagworth Heath Woods

Join us for a guided walk at Bagworth Heath Woods with a local mining historian and learn about the vast mining history of the site!

Bagworth Heath Woods has a rich history, originally the location of Desford Colliery Site from 1902-1984 – the last to be opened in the North-west Leicestershire Coalfield. Work from from 1990’s onwards helped Bagworth Heath make the transformation to a site full of rich woodland, heathland lakes and vast wildlife we see today.

Take a guided talk around the pit with local mining historian Colin Harris and dive back in time.

Please meet at the Bagworth Heath Woods car park.

Places are free, but booking is essential.
