Situated alongside the England Coast Path and on the Heritage Coast Path at Easington, Easington Nature Reserve is a hidden gem that's a must visit at any time of the year.
Easington Colliery was one of many environmental improvements completed in The Turning the Tide (TTT) Partnership between 1997 – 2003. Easington Colliery had large cliff edge spoil heaps and these heaps were removed and spread over the site, capped and covered with soil to create an open public space. The site was grassed and large areas planted with trees and had wildflower seed sown.
In Springtime, the Reserve becomes home to Skylark populations and other birds that nest in amongst the grasslands. Summertime sees the return of an incredible display of wild flowers and accompanying butterflies, including the Dingy Skipper and Durham Argus Butterflies. At all times of the year, enjoy incredible views along the coast from the commemorative Pit Cage installation at the top of the reserve.
Enjoy a brew at the Pay Note Cafe situated opposite the Nature Reserve before or after your visit to the site.
