Few minutes further along Balls Head Drive is the old Coal Loader Depot with it’s huge- now derelict - berth 

and three long tunnels.

There are many signs with detailed information about the history of this interesting place. 

The Coal Loader operated till 1992 and was declared a public open space in 1997. 

The Care Taker Cottage is now a Centre for Sustainability. 

It’s motto ‘Learn from the Past - Embrace the Future’. 

There is also a community garden.

From here too it is easy to get to Waverton Railway Station.
