Sence Valley Forest Park, Forest park in North West Leicestershire, England.
Sence Valley Forest Park encompasses 60 hectares of woodland, lakes, and meadows connected by a network of walking and cycling paths.
The land transformed from an open cast coal mine that extracted 8 million tonnes of coal between 1982 and 1996 into a public forest park.
Local community groups, schools, and organizations actively participated in planting 98,000 trees during the initial restoration phase of the forest park.
The park provides designated parking areas, accessible paths, toilet facilities, and the Little Bluebird Cafe operating from Wednesday through Sunday.
The forest hosts 150 recorded bird species and includes an artificial sand martin nesting wall near Horseshoe Lake for wildlife observation.
