This walking route was named by local resident Craig B.
The name is inspired by a local myth about a ‘Green Lady’ said to wander near the lake - have you seen her for yourself?
A brief history of Langold Country Park
The lake was originally constructed amongst woodland in the area and the landscape was designed by Ralph Knight of Langold Hall in the 1750s.
By the 1890s a weir with a single arch bridge with boathouse underneath had been constructed. The 19th century boat house still exists today. During the 1920s the area was developed for mining with the former Firbeck Colliery site located to the east of the park. In 1968 the mineclosed and mining equipment was removed to make way for a children's playground and refreshment facilities.
