Photograph Notes: This is one of a number of ponds in the Silverlink/Cobalt area, an area which was once at the heart of the north east coalfields. Close by a number of waggonways carried coal from the local collieries down to the River Tyne for onward transportation. The Biodiversity Park was created in 1996, on the site of a former rubbish tip, as part of a new business park development scheme. It was declared a Local Nature Reserve in 2005. The following poem was inspired by the park: A March WalkSilverlink Biodiversity ParkIt is March,winter is on the wane,a stoat darts across the path.Flesh-coloured flowers, Butterbur poking through soft earth,leaves loitering a month or so behind.Soon it will be easy to mistake it for rhubarb, huge umbrella leavessheltering an army of insects.They say it helps migraines. Cowslips, striking yellow flowers huddling together, begin to raise their heads.Sunseekers on a dull day.The tracks, wetafter last night's rain, only the clear call of the cootto disturb the peace.of this urban oasis.It is hard to imagine thiswas once a warren of waggonways,a clutter of coal yards,a polluted industrial landscape.Now, a hill rises at its centre,steps like those of a Mayan temple,a summit topped with a giant dial.A timepiece on a sunny day.Here, on this windswept hillwhere Nature now rules,a local world unfolds.The poem was written by Geoff HollandFor a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit www.northtynesidewalks.co.uk
