Straws Bridge

👍 Really lovely spot, quite alot larger than I initially thought on arrival, so was pleasantly surprised. There's lots to see and do, from cycle paths, rivers and streams, wildlife and wide open spaces. It's clean, well signposted throughout. A thoroughly enjoyable day out whether alone with the dog o...

St Chad's Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍 A lovely nature reserve although sadly covered in too much dog poo along the paths to warrant five stars. A quick walk around the water followed by a loop around the churchyard and a similar offshoot along the road before returning to the car park. The plaques telling the history of the area were...

Stoney Clouds Local Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍 A spacious and grassy park perfect for dog walking and scenic walks. Great views across Sandiacre, Stapleford and the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire countryside. Expansive and peppered with natural rocks and woodland. Easy to get lost though as many of the fields within fields look very similar.

Toton Fields Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍 I did not quite know what to make of this place, it's a bit of a miss mash of everything ☺️. We followed Google maps to get here. It does take you to the entrance but this is not clearly signposted so just look around you can't miss it. You can also park on the road for free. The first part of the r...

Kirk Hallam Lake & Meadows

Nature preserve

👍👍 Nice area for a daily walk, anytime of the year, around the lake with the dog or just to sit and watch the wildlife go by. The Lake is in front of Kirk Hallam Community Academy and the meadows stretch all the way to the Nut Brook trail. Tracks are well maintained around the Nut Brook trail and are u...

Compton Acres Pond

Nature preserve

👍👍 This pond is a fabulous little oasis in the middle of the estate! There are ducks around the pond which the kids love to feed. There is no official parking but plenty of places in the surrounding streets. It is brilliant to take a picnic in summer when the weather is good!

Forbes Hole

Nature preserve

😐 It's a lovely little nature reserve with a Pond and lots of wildlife. Really handy for walking my elderly dog around as it only takes about half an hour. If you've got a more active dog, it'll take about 15 minutes. Only downside is that theres often single men wandering round and none of them appe...

4.10 (69 reviews) (~1.28 km from centre)

Wilford Claypit Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

🫤 It's ok if you live in the area and want a stroll somewhere secluded with a bit of tree and water. It's not worth a drive there though. Not pram/wheelchair friendly either. Steps and hill-y with tight entry/exit points and points where you have to climb over low fences. Didn't seem to be any ducks...
