St Chad's Water
Lake
👍👍 Awesome compact nature reserve and pond. Lots of seating to watch the sunrise and sunset 🌅 Beautiful to just take a walk around the lake which is about a mile - comfortable for most.

Spring Lakes Watersports and Leisure Centre

Went the following Saturday for a SUP taster session which was brilliant. The instructor was great and very patient as I fell off several times!!! I now take my own board up...

Performing arts theater
👍👍 Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I didn't even know this place existed, and thats coming from a dedicated theatre goer. The cast are amateur but you wouldn't know it, the scenery, bar and the well furnished theatre is great. There is plenty of parking near by and you will not be disappointed by the...

Canalside Heritage Centre
Heritage museum
👍👍 Lovely venue to call in for a hot drink and food after a walk along the canal. Very traditional cafe area on the ground floor. My personal favourite is the fruit cake however the carrot cake does take some bearing. Selection of teas and coffees plus other hot food. If its a dry day you can sit i...

👍 Beautiful park all year round. It just surprises me a park that big and so well attended does not offer one single toilet or baby changing facility.

Manor Farm Open Space
Park
👍👍 Really enjoy walking around here. You can also continue on following the River Erewash for a longer walk. Lots of people walk their dogs here and I have noticed many squirrels and birds. Very peaceful. There is also open space for football, tennis courts, basketball court and a playground for kids.

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

👍 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...
