The number of people enjoying The Coal Loader each day during the lock-down nearly doubled on this time last year! And because people were doing the right thing, it meant that we could keep this beautiful park open for everyone to enjoy while still keeping people safe! Thank you!" The Coal Loader visitor centre has now reopened for visitors, with social distancing and max capacities in place. Details on our website.
