Skylarks Nature Reserve

Can enjoy the nature in a very simple way, don't expect lots of facilitates and attractions

Just a lovely place for a gentle walk. The site is split on both sides of the road, one side offering shady paths through the woods, the other more open. Both are full of wildlife and bits of interesting nature: the division giving a range of habitats and therefore different inhabitants. Walking routes are well signposted and most are along hard pathways making the sites largely accessible to wheelchairs etc. The longer route round Blots pond is not accessible but is otherwise fairly gentle going. Rarely busy, this well maintained reserve is a hidden treasure.

The walk of choice for the rushcliffe area, water, woods, open space and lots of wildlife, Berry picking haven... A 5km lap around the watersports rowing lake or can do up to 15km quite easily. Nottingham's hidden gem.

It's a nice place at the moment but this has potential to be amazing. Plenty of areas for hides to be built to view the birds. One half built hide be a great location when finished. The viewing platforms could be good if maintained. Bin at car park needs emptying now it's full people started piling up next to it. Shame some people don't clear there dog waste up.

Lovely place for a quiet walk. Well shaded on a sunny day, so good for dogs. You can cut onto the rowing lake as well for alonger walk.

Lovely Nature Reserve to walk around. Great opportunities to see a range wildlife and birds. Have volunteered to help with management of site and been involved with a variety of tasks to help Nottingham Wildlife Trust.

Great place for bird watching. Visitors today include white egret. Pleasant walks on gravelled paths. Loads of wildlife and interesting fauna. Right on outskirts of Nottingham. Examples of early dwellings built by volunteers.

I would have gone mad during lockdown if it weren't for daily bike rides or walks to this beautiful oasis tucked away in South Notts countryside. Well kept and full of notable bird life!
