Silverhill Woods

We had planned a weekend camping opposite Silverhill Woods, hoping to do some hiking and generally relax. I was initially disappointed as it looked like we wouldn't be able to get me into the trails and woods but with a bit of persistence we found a way and once inside, it was fabulous! It's a man-made nature reserve on land that was once used for mining. If you have the energy/ability to climb the big hill (I didn't this time) there is a statue of a miner with a gas lamp. We did the circular walk around the big hill. It was also hilly but more manageable. I would imagine many wheelchair users would need assistance though. I needed help coming down rather than up.
