Hiking
Bagworth Heath Woods is composed of woodland, grassland, heathland, lakes and ponds. It is a great place for wildfowl and aquatic plants. The area is a reclaimed colliery site and a pit wheel sits on an island in the centre of the largest pool as a reminder of the site's industrial past.

Hiking
Sand martins return annually to an artificial nesting wall at Bagworth Heath Wood Country Park in Leicestershire, usually arriving in March to nest through the summer. The site, featuring a specialized "Sandmartin Pool," is maintained by rangers and volunteers who refresh the sandy bank annually, with hundreds of chicks raised there.
