A nice nature reserve within walking distance from Calke Abbey - well worth adding to a walking route!

This reserve is well known for the spectacular display of snowdrops that appear in late winter and early spring. A visit to this special site is a must to enjoy the carpet of white that appears, giving hope that warmer times are on the way and spring is just around the corner.
Depending on the weather, February and March can be the best time to experience this. And for an added bonus in March, you might be lucky enough to enjoy hares boxing in the fields. The mixed woodland is also great for birdlife, and, if you’re lucky, you might even spot deer!
