Attenborough Nature Reserve
Walk among lakes, reedbeds and waterside paths at this former gravel extraction site, now a major wildlife reserve southwest of Nottingham with a nature centre.
Nottingham / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Nottingham with our travel partners.
Attenborough rewards a slower pace: pause beside the water and watch how birds use the open lakes and sheltered edges. The former gravel workings have become a varied wetland landscape, so the interest lies in the habitats as much as any single species.
What to look for
Former gravel pits have become wetland habitats.
Lakes and reedbeds provide varied places to watch birds.
Paths follow the reserve’s waterside edges.
Useful to know
Follow the current diversion map around the Works Bridge approaches.
Bring binoculars for watching birds across open water.
