Salmon Pastures Local Nature Reserve

This footpath, part of the Five Weirs Walk runs between the Salmon Pastures Local Nature Reserve and the River Don. This area was once the slag heap of the Nunnery Coal Company's coke ovens. The acidic soil conditions have created an 'acid heath' environment which is maintained by periodically clearing invasive birch trees.
