Kiveton Community Woodland

A well-loved community hub with picturesque views

Located in South Yorkshire, Kiveton Community Woodland is a 57-hectare cherished community destination and natural space of remarkable diversity, with a vast array of woodland, grassland, and wetland habitats. 

When Kiveton Colliery closed in 1994, it left behind both derelict land and a lasting impact on the community. Following remediation through the National Coalfield Programme, the site has been transformed into a thriving landscape featuring a community orchard, a network of accessible paths, and sculptures by local artists, including the cast iron “Dreaming of Sky”, which pays tribute to the pit ponies that once worked in the mines.  

In spring, wildflowers carpet the grassy areas, and the on-site amphitheatre near the main entrance hosts community events such as the Kiveton Brass Band Festival.
