*Cudworth Common
'Cudworth Common is a popular park created on the site where the Grimethorpe Colliery once stood. The colliery was made famous by the hugely successful film "Brassed Off" ... The derelict and contaminated site was remediated by the regional development agency, Yorkshire Forward with funds from the Homes and Community Agency National Coalfield Programme. The resultant green space and business development have helped the nearby towns recover from the problems of the last decade ...'
'This scenic park raises above the surrounding area so fabulous views over the RSPB's Edderthorpe Ings reserves and for many miles into the distance can be enjoyed as you wander round this wild green space. Keep an eye open for the intricate wooden sculptures which celebrate both the site's mining heritage and bright new future as community park. Ferrymoor Flash, a small lake (or large pond) which is separated from the main part of the site, should not be missed when visiting the site because of the fantastic range of wildlife such as swans, shelducks, tufted duck and a colourful variety of butterflies that inhabits this small wetland area.'
