Spa Ponds Nature Reserve - Walk through a thousand years of history
Spa Ponds Nature Reserve, off Clipstone Drive, Forest Town, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, NG19 0JL
This tour will is run by volunteers from the Forest Town Nature Conservation Group. When the group purchased the Spa Ponds site in 2014 we embarked upon a journey of discovery to learn about the site's ancient and recent history. We will take you on a walk from the site's entrance off Clipstone Drive near the White Gates pub all the way along the public bridleway and footpaths to the River Maun and then back to the entrance. This year will include a special focus on the everyday histories of those worked or visited the site and the surrounding area.
