Sloping down to the banks of the River Evenlode, Foxholes Nature Reserve is a beautiful, serene woodland. The best time to visit is undoubtedly springtime, when the ground is carpeted by a dazzling display of bluebells.

Tawny owls, badgers and kingfishers are just some of the animals you might see here on the 1.8-mile (2.9 km) wildlife walk. The badger waymarkers point the route ahead.
