Wyming Brook Nature Reserve

👍 Lovely little walk along the river. It's fairly short and leads out to wyming brook reservoir. There's no real circular route but we managed to carve out our own. It gives you a little workout coming back up the hill. Quite pleasant. Went on a tuesday mid morning and it was pretty quiet.

Pleasley Pit Country Park & Local Nature Reserve
Park
👍👍 A former colliery site transformed into a nature park. It hasn't been over-managed and there are plenty of wild areas of flowers and long grass. There are several lakes and pools which are good for wildfowl. Some of them are fenced off to prevent disturbance. The site is excellent for butterflies....
