Consall Nature Park

Consall Nature Park is situated within the beautiful valley of the River Churnet. Sir Derek Barber, Chairman of the then Countryside Commission (now Natural England), opened the park in 1989.

Part of the park is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and here the emphasis is on nature conservation, whilst at the same time welcoming the public to enjoy the paths, fishing and picnic facilities.

The Visitor Centre provides displays and exhibitions on the varied and dramatic past of the valley and its present natural history interests. There is a small shop area, selling leaflets and souvenirs throughout the summer (April - September). Toilet facilities are provided all year round and there is easy access to facilities for the less agile.

Consall Nature Park

If you are unsure of where to walk, try our Consall Nature Park Trails, a series of waymarked walks starting from the Visitor Centre.

The Nature Park is particularly suited for School Visits and the Visitor Centre has been designed with such parties in mind. For more information, see our Information for Schools page.

Arrangements for school visits can be made by telephoning Consall Visitor Centre - 01782 550939 or the Head Ranger - 01782 302030.
