This 650 acre park on the northern fringe of Nottingham has an incredible variety of different wildlife habitats.
From Mill Lakes, teeming with water birds, to meadows full of wildflowers, from ancient oak woodland to a reclaimed pit tip, Bestwood has a landscape which reflects the varied history of Nottinghamshire itself
The Winding Engine House, an imposing piece of industrial archaeology, is a monument to the coal mining industry once so important to Nottinghamshire.
 
The building has recently been restored by Nottinghamshire County Council, with funding support from The Heritage Lottery Fund and The Greater Nottingham Partnership. It opened to the public on Saturday 31 July. Opening times are every Saturday between 10am and 1pm, between Easter and the end of October.
More information about the Winding House can be found in the attached leaflet.
