HISTORY & HERITAGE IN THE COUNTRY PARK

Bestwood Country Park has had a long and varied history. Some of the important moments are captured on the information boards on the walls of the Dynamo House. However, to save you getting eye strain or a pain in your neck reading those boards, we have captured the information into a handy booklet. You can buy one for the princely sum of £1 from the Dynamo House Community Cafe whenever it is open.
