SCH is owned and managed by Anne-Michele and Geoff Bacon.

We have been dog owners for many years having owned Great Danes and now more recently German Shepherds.

We are both qualified in Canine Hydrotherapy including 'Aquatic Treadmill' and are members of the Canine Hydrotherapy Association.

Having both been Registered General Nurses we are experienced in pre/post op care and medical/surgical procedures (albeit in humans).

We look forward to welcoming you and your beloved pet to SCH.

We are very proud of our business and will be happy to answer any queries and alleviate any fears that you may have about hydrotherapy.

Since opening in 1993, The Teversal Trails Visitors Centre has provided an ideal access point to the Teversal and Pleasley Trails Network and other walks.

There is ample free parking outside the centre with an extensive surrounding grass area making it an ideal place for picnics. A Coal Garden, incorporating a variety of artifacts from the local colliery, including Pit Wheels, marks the entrance to the trails themselves. Parts of the trails are suitable for wheelchair access, cycling and horse riding and there is much improved wheelchair access at the centre and toilets.

Brierley Forest Park was officially opened in May 1994.

Originally a former colliery site, Brierley Forest Park has been transformed into a wildlife haven with nature walks covering over two miles. The Park also provides recreation facilities including a football pitch and children's play area, a sculpture trail, areas of local historical interest, as well as a visitor centre.

The centre offers refreshments, exhibitions and information. Regular guided walks and events are organised, and schools are encouraged to use the park as an outdoor classroom for nature studies.
