Snakeholme Pit Nature Reserve is a haven for butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies, water voles and more. Throughout spring and summer, it bursts into colour with many species of wildflowers. The site was formerly a clay pit and then a fish nursery until it was taken over by Butterfly Conservation. In 2013, it was put into the care of the Lincolnshire Branch of Butterfly Conservation.

Hiking

There is a beautiful meadow area at the south-east end. A sheltered sunny south-west facing bank leads down to a pond, which covers about a third of the site.

Large hedgerows with mature ash and oak trees surround part of the site. There is a good show of Cowslips in the spring and the fine summer wildflower display includes Greater Burnet-saxifrage, Betony and the unusual Adder's-tongue fern.

The pool supports many species of dragonfly and damselfly, as well as a variety of aquatic molluscs and other pond-life. This small reserve attracts a notable range of birds, including kingfishers and nightingales.
