There IS a way in. Such arrangements are designed to keep unwelcome users out – bikes, motorbikes, cars, possibly horses also.

Whittleford Park, Nuneaton
The park looks as though it is managed more for wildlife than for people. Long grass has been cut in autumn, perhaps, and left to lie. To be fair, the site may well be former colliery or industrial land and management options are constrained; there may also be budgetary reasons for not collecting cut grass.

Welcome to the Black Track
Nuneaton and Bedworth Council has posted a long list of 'do's and don'ts' at this access point to the Black Track by the end of Selby Way. The Black Track is, in fact, a disused railway now converted to a footpath. The railway provided access to Stockingford and Ansley Hall collieries; this stretch was abandoned in November 1964 when the former closed. Presumably the Black Track name is a reference to the colour of coal - it seems likely that spilt coal dust would at one time have given the line a black appearance.

Mural on the Black Track
The Black Track was a railway built in 1876 to serve Stockingford and Ansley Hall collieries. It was abandoned in 1964 and is now a footpath. Under the bridge by Selby Way are murals celebrating the local mining industry. Sadly on this side the effect has been somewhat spoiled by some mindless graffiti.
