Silverhill Wood

Located on Silverhill Lane just off the B6014 near the historic Carnarvon Arms pub in Teversal, Silverhill Wood. This beautifully reclaimed colliery site offers a comprehensive network of surfaced woodland trails that are specifically designed to be accessible, making them ideal for wheelchair users and families with pushchairs. For those looking to extend their journey, the site provides seamless off-road links to the wider Teversal Trail Network and the expansive Phoenix Greenways, allowing explorers to wander across the border into Derbyshire and connect with the popular Five Pits Trail.

Visitors arriving at the Silverhill Lane car park will find it is an excellent spot for dog walking, as the area is safe for off-lead exercise immediately from the entrance. While the site is home to diverse local wildlife, there are no livestock or grazing animals on the wood itself, providing peace of mind for pet owners. The highlight of any visit is the steady climb to the summit of the hill, which is officially the highest point in the county. At the peak, you are greeted by the magnificent "Testing for Gas" monument, a striking bronze statue of a Nottinghamshire miner that serves as a tribute to the region's rich industrial heritage. From this vantage point, hikers can enjoy panoramic views that stretch across five counties, making it a must-visit location for photographers and nature lovers alike.
