Shipley Country Park

The Shipley estate was developed during the 18th century as a country estate and coal mining area by the influential Miller Mundy family. Following the restoration of the old coal mines and opencast quarries, we opened the area as a country park in 1976.

Whatever the season, there is always lots to see and do in the park - walking, cycling, horse-riding, bird-watching, angling, picnicking, kite flying, jogging, wayfaring, photography, exploring the park and much more.

Entry to Shipley Country Park is free of charge.

A ‘Guide to Shipley Country Park’ leaflet is available at the visitor centre (free of charge), and information panels can be found in each car park.

If you have any suggestions, comments, complaints or compliments about Shipley Country Park we would be pleased to receive them (see use the contact details below).
