Aylestone Meadows Local Nature Reserve

I walk here with the dog at least twice a day for around 7 months and I have not got bored of it yet. You have woods, meadows, and nice little beaches for your dog to access the water if it's that way inclined.

Beautiful on the sunshine. May hedgerow is in full bloom and worth a trip around.Enjoyed by families and runners alike

My favourite place to walk the dog and get my step count up. So much great wildlife to spot. Fun for kids too. There are a few places to get food; st Andrews FC, kings lock tearooms, jennos and everards.

What an amazing adventurous place this is! Highly recommend for when there's good weather.... Some lovely benches and seating areas tucked around the place. The children's play area is quite a walk from the car parks (for the meadows) but is a lovely walk to get to none the less. Lots of bridges to cross over streams and the canal. A few different types of path (grass/gravelled/decked). A very fun day with family! Lots of dog walkers and strollers and all very friendly. Had to stop an ask a lovely couple for directions as the place is big and easy to get muddled up on where to go.... Recommend taking a picture of the Map to refer to if your first time.

Parking is possible. Plenty of space, beautiful environment, plenty of water. Joggers, dog walkers all over the place.Always felt safe.I'm sure the bloke on the boat is in the background of thousands of pictures.

A great place to go for a walk or a run. Might be a bit muddy on rainy days or after one so make sure you wear a suitable shoes. Suitable for everyone and accessible from different directions. Have some areas that are perfect for picnics and gatherings. Perfect to see a lot of beautiful trees in spring time.

It's a nice place to walk, by the canals especially. Can get super muddy and flooded though. Unfortunately the place does attract some not particularly nice individuals. We've witnessed fights, police incidents and groups with huge bongs and god knows what more frequently than not. It's a shame really
