Nottingham has many good parks and this is made from the pits where gravel was extracted.Pathways and viewing areas have been made to enjoy lots of good ponds and birdlife. Ideal for a Sunday afternoon stroll with the kids or even a picnic. More

We've been down here a few times, and cycle from the reserve up to Trent Lock or Sawley marina and back. Lovely canal route and lovely reserve. More

A lovely walk, beautiful surroundings with wonderful wildlife. However, the cafe is disappointing, the staff never seem happy and personally I think the floors should be swept and tables and chairs wiped more often. There doesn't appear to be a shortage of staff, so not sure what the problem is? More

A wonderful nature reserve, with great habitats, knowledgeable staff, excellent facilities and even a very good café. It's easy to get to by bus or train, there is plenty to do and lots of opportunities for cycling and walking. More

Good paths for a winter walk. Interesting visitors' centre More

Great for walking with a nice coffee and cake to follow oops! More

Good place for a weekend sroll with your dogs, lovely veiws of wildlife, good for children for feeding all the ducks & swans. More

What an amazing place. If you like walking and bird watching this is for you. We saw kingfishers, wading birds, herons with young etc. etc. The food in the centre is great - best baked potato i have ever eaten. Food presentation really good. Great sitting ouside drinking coffee overlooking the water. Car park very reasonable at 1.50 per day.... More

We expected to see displays of things connected to the nature reserve. What we got was an ordinary tea room with a gift shop charging extraordinary prices More
