Beschreibung
Formerly the site of the New Fancy coal mine which closed in 1944. the old spoil heap now provides great views across the Forest of Dean with a raised viewing area. Good for watching birds of prey soaring above the woodland. The thickly wooded area is managed by the Forestry Commission. Principal attraction is Habicht courtship display, visible on calm days in March and April. Also possible Wanderfalke, Sperber and Kolkrabe. Telescope essential. Fichtenkreuzschnabel and Erlenzeisig in winter on nearby footpaths. Fallow deer almost anywhere plus the elusive wild boar.
In the car park there is a monument to the miners who lost their lives here.
