Vicar Water Country Park

We went to Vicar Water at Clipstone and walked around and across the "hill" that is the landscaped pit tip from Clipstone Colliery. Clipstone pit headstocks were reputed to be the highest in the country and the colliery was one of the largest in Nottinghamshire. The area has now been landscaped as a country park and from the top, it commands views out across Nottinghamshire and across to Derbyshire.
