The reserve is run by the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust and is a former industrial site
Now that the rainy days are starting to clear up and the warm weather is rolling in, many of us are looking to spend more time outdoors. Whether going on a family stroll, taking the kids on a bike ride or taking the dog for a lengthy walk, there are plenty of stunning landscapes to explore across Nottinghamshire .
The site is run by the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust and is a former industrial site that is now home to all sorts of wildlife, including a large variety of birds. Once you are on A1133, you will see signs for the nature reserve just as you reach the edge of Besthorpe, but beware as after the turning it's not long before the road becomes single-track and extremely bumpy.
We decided to have a walk around the site, and after parking up it wasn't long until I was surrounded by nature. The wildflower meadows were stunning and in the distance, I could see a dozen sheep or so lounging around the grass. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful, and the views of the water were breathtaking. The path around the reserve was also fairly flat, and the part I went on was definitely accessible so could be used by wheelchair users or those with pushchairs.
