Lovely area of nature peaceful and tranquil even though its only a stones throw from busy roads and town
What a great day of walking . Exploring the canal . From Farnsworth train station to the country park at mosses gate along the canal at Nob end canal basin along the old canal which is in the process of being cleaned by the canal trust .. Then out by Kersealy train station . Beautiful walk on a warm sunny day. Good long walk.
Whilst on a road trip collecting funny place names, we couldn't pass up the chance to claim "Nob End"! Not the easiest of places to get to when you're not local. We ended up trying several odd parking spots on nearby streets before settling on a spot to the north of the park. No official car park seemed to be signposted anywhere in sight?! The paths/tracks around site were fairly level and unobstructed, though spots were really overgrown with weeds - this may be due to the area being a SSSI, which would place restrictions on groundskeepers. Other than the humorous name, another draw for this park (though we were unaware beforehand) is the inclusion of giant Meccano structures, including picnic benches and a whole footbridge! These are painted in classic Meccano red and green.
Lovely area for a walk. We were drawn to visit as they filmed a scene from the movie 'Spring and Port Wine' here
