They’re expanding the D.H. Lawrence Trail in Nottinghamshire from 1.5 to 6.2 miles, weaving together the writer’s life with the region’s gritty coal mining past. Born in Eastwood, Lawrence’s family mined at Brinsley pit, and his novel “Sons and Lovers” drew directly from this landscape. The new route links Eastwood, Colliers Wood (once Moorgreen Colliery), and the historic Brinsley Headstocks—now being reinstalled after delays caused by unexpected shaft discoveries. Along the way, plaques honor miners who lost their lives. The land between Eastwood and Brinsley will become a protected country park, safeguarding heritage and attracting visitors. Set to open alongside the D.H. Lawrence Music Festival, this trail celebrates the enduring fusion of literature and labor that shaped this corner of England.
