Here is some information about history and nature walks in the region. They can be completed in less than a day and also be combined with a visit to Melby, a former coal mine now open to the public.

下面为您介绍本地区几条历史与自然徒步路线的信息。这些路线均可在一天内走完，还可以搭配参观梅尔比——一座现已对公众开放的废弃煤矿。

The Marden Coastal Walk is suitable for all the family as there are no strenuous climbs.

马登海岸步道适合全家出行，全程没有需要费力攀爬的路段。

The route begins at Marden harbour, where there are hourly ferries to and from the beautiful Hooker Island, a great place for fishing. The walk covers part of the coastal path trail. As there are clear signposts all along the way, you don't even need to take a map with you.

路线起点是马登港，那里每小时都有往返渡轮，前往风景秀丽的胡克岛，那是个钓鱼的好地方。步道涵盖了一部分海岸小径。沿途设有清晰的指示牌，因此您甚至无需携带地图。

At one point, the route goes inland slightly and passes a castle built in the 1400s near to a now-vanished market town.

路线中有一处会稍向内陆延伸，途经一座建于15世纪的城堡，旁边曾是一个现已消失的集镇。

The castle's now just a pile of stones but it's a great place to take photos, and fascinating information boards show what it once looked like. If you set off early, you can be back in time for midday.

如今城堡只剩一堆乱石，但仍是拍照的绝佳地点，旁边还有内容详实的展示牌，介绍它昔日的样貌。如果出发得早，中午前就能返回。

The Melby Heritage Walk is a great place to take photos, especially of the night sky. At certain times of the year, people come here from far and wide. They climb to the top of the valley and take pictures of the stars.

梅尔比遗产步道是摄影的好去处，尤其适合拍摄夜空。每年特定的时节，人们会从四面八方赶来，登上山谷的最高处，拍摄星空。

In the daytime, it's completely different. As you hike through the dense woods in the valley bottom, the only things you'll hear are the sound of your own footsteps.

到了白天，这里则完全是另一番景象。当您穿行于谷底茂密的树林时，耳边唯一能听见的，便只有自己的脚步声。

At the highest point, you can stop to take in the views, and those with lots of energy can climb the tower that's situated where there was once a seventeenth century hunting lodge.

到达最高点后，您可以驻足欣赏美景，体力充沛的话，还可以登上一座塔楼，那里曾经是一处17世纪狩猎行宫的所在地。

The route continues along the tops of the hills and brings you back down to the starting point - the car park at Melby Coal Mine.

路线继续沿着山脊延伸，最终带您回到起点——梅尔比煤矿的停车场。

Melby Coal Mine has been open to the public for twenty years and has won awards for its visitor experience. Many of the buildings around the mine are still standing and have been converted into display areas.

梅尔比煤矿对公众开放已有二十年，并因其参观体验多次获奖。矿区周边的许多建筑依然保存完好，并已改建为展示区。

Firstly, there's an exhibition showing the history of the mine, with many original black and white photos. To see that, you go from the car park, via a covered walkway to the Main Visitor Centre. Go through the ticket office to an area where there are lockers to leave heavy bags in, and where you can borrow raincoats. Beyond that room is the exhibition.

首先，有一个展示煤矿历史的展览，展出了许多珍贵的黑白老照片。参观该展览，您需从停车场经一条有顶通道前往主游客中心。穿过售票处后，来到一个配有储物柜的区域，可以存放沉重的背包，也可在此借用雨衣。穿过那个房间便是展览区。

There's a small bathhouse where miners used to wash after their shift underground. You can see that in the building directly to the north of the engine house. The boiler has gone from there now, but there are lines of tin baths on the stone floor.

那里还有一间小型澡堂，曾是矿工们结束井下作业后洗澡的地方。您可以在发动机房正北面的那栋建筑里看到它。如今锅炉已不复存在，但石砌地面上还留着一排排的锡制浴盆。

There's a display of early mining tools from the days before mechanisation. You can find that in a small L-shaped building in the middle of the northern boundary of the site. It's incredible to think how miners were able to use hand implements to cut through rock.

另有一处展览，展示的是机械化时代之前的早期采矿工具。您可以在矿区北侧边界中部一栋L形的小建筑里找到它。想想当年的矿工仅凭手工器具就能凿开岩石，着实令人难以置信。

The vehicle shed, where you can find wagons of different sizes, along with some of the hi-tech cutting machines that were in use until the mine closed, is in the southwest corner of the site, and can be accessed via a covered walkway.

车辆棚位于矿区的西南角，可通过一条有顶通道进入，里面陈列着各种尺寸的矿车，以及一些在煤矿关闭前仍在使用的高科技切割设备。

There is a field with ponies, which are always popular with children, on the north-eastern boundary of the site, not approached via a covered walkway.

矿区的东北边界处有一片养着小马的场地，一直很受孩子们的欢迎，该区域不通过有顶通道连接。

The other building to mention is the education centre. This is where school groups go when they visit the mine, but it's also accessible to the public as it contains a library and small gift shop. The centre is connected to the ticket office via a short section of covered walkway.

最后要提的是教育中心。这里是学校团体参观煤矿时的活动场所，但也对公众开放，因为里面设有一个图书馆和一间小礼品店。该中心通过一小段有顶通道与售票处相连。
