Countryside Recreation
Pooley Country Park and Heritage Centre

Canal boat moorings and centre








Pooley Play area with children
There are so many things to see and do at Pooley Country Park and Heritage Centre. The 62.5 hectare site, one third of which is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, contains several pools caused by mining subsidence, woodland habitats and is situated on the Coventry Canal.

See for yourself environmental sustainability in practice, and the mining memorabilia donated to the Centre by North Warwickshire miners.

The colliery site, on which this Country Park is now laid out, was the first to produce its own electricity (from excess steam), and the Heritage Centre has harnessed wind and solar energy to provide power to the Visitor Centre.

Take a stroll along the footpath used by miners as long ago as 1846 - and visit the tea room during the course of your relaxing and enjoyable visit.

A brilliant new Play Area was opened to the public in March 2006, thanks to generous funding from WREN (landfill tax credits) of £23,452 and £12,000 from the Market Towns Initiative and Advantage West Midlands"

With Effect from 1 May 2007 BARBECUES AND FIRES WILL NO LONGER BE PERMITTED AT WARWICKSHIRE'S COUNTRY PARKS (more information on Country Parks home page)
