Great Crested Grebe on Killingworth Lake
Killingworth Lake and its surrounding woodland area was created in the 1960s during reclamation of derelict colliery land in this area. It has since become a site that is used for a range of recreational activities such as angling, as well as supporting a diverse range of wildlife.
The 15-acre lake, which the main road into Killingworth, is designated as a Site of Local Conservation Interest (SLCI). It supports several species of wildfowl, including the Great Crested Grebe (Link
