Echoes of the past at Bestwood
You can follow a gentle audio walking tour around Bestwood Country Park’s Winding Engine House grounds using your own mobile phone. Simply follow the marker posts – you can’t miss them they are in the shape of piles of coal.
To access the tour ring 0115 822 0268 and follow the instructions. Costs are explained in a short message but the tour is free to access and is hosted on a local telephone number.  Users may incur a small charge for the call, though it will be included in any free 'bundled' minutes within their phone call plan. There are two tours to choose from - the history of the site (choose 901) or nature and how the country park was created (choose 911).
We hope that the short tour will whet your appetite and you will want to find out more about this fascinating site in the heart of Nottinghamshire’s Greenwood, and encourage you to explore the park further and other sites within the Green Estate.
