Some Details...
The Newstead and Annesley Country Park is a beautiful eco-friendly park just north of Nottingham. We are 5 minutes away from Newstead Railway Station and less than 10 minutes drive from Junction 27 of the M1.
We are a park with a difference. The park is run by Newstead Enterprise - a company created by the community in Newstead Village to help create a better future for ourselves. We are run by volunteers who care passionately about the village, the Park and creating a legacy for future generations.
The Park is 220 acres and is situated on the site of the former colliery pit tips. The whole area has amazing wildlife interest and the village is working with a number of environmental groups to protect and enhance the area, half of which is a ‘Site of Importance for Nature Conservation’.
At the heart of our Park is our eco-build Visitor Centre - based on the earthship method of construction - being a building which is pushing the boundaries of green technology and hand built by members of our community .
We offer a great range of family and inter-generational events, activities and workshops including angling lakes, keep fit activities, family events and the new Headstock Festival run in September.
We welcome everyone to our park - and will gladly provide tours to other communities who want to find out what we've done and how - part of our vision is to help inspire other communities across the UK to set up similar ventures.
