To the north of the visitor centre is an area that was used as a dump for Edwinstowe in the Victorian era. This was known of, but the extent had not been mapped until a walkover survey. The area was clearly evident by the vegetation growing on it. At the time of year it was marked it was covered in nettles which grew much more densely over the dump than in the surrounding area.
