A series of guided walks in conjunction with Friends of Middleton Park and the Middleton Railway, exploring the remains of early coal mining in Middleton Park, Leeds.
The walks will meet the 1100, 1300 and 1440 steam trains from Moor Road on arrival at Park Halt and we will follow old wagonways through the park to the visitor centre and horse gin replica. We will make a few stops to see the remains of early coal mining including bell pits, pillar and stall workings and horse gin sites. The walk is about 30 minutes on good paths along a steady up hill gradient once used for gravity wagon operation. At the visitor centre visitors can either return straight to the railway, about 10 -15 minutes down hill on a direct path that was once another wagonway, or stop off for tea at the cafe and check out other events in the park returning at their leisure. The last train back from Park Halt is 1615. The walks will be taking place on the following Sundays: 17th April, 29th May, 26th June, 10th July and 21st August.
