More than 200 bird species have been recorded visiting Hatfield and Thorne Moor. Winter visitors include whooper swans, pink-footed geese, hen harrier, and short-eared owls. From March-July a very special summer visitor is the diminutive woodlark and also oystercatcher, lapwing, ringed plover and great crested grebe can be spotted around the lakes. Badger Corner Lake is a special place to watch your favourite birds.

The Humberhead Peatlands are a remnant of a large wetland that occupied the floodplain of the Humberhead Levels thousands of years ago. They have been worked for peat throughout recorded history. The impact of this working has been to leave the remaining area with too varied a water table to allow peat formation. It is a fascinating area full of wildlife and of course it is quite boggy!

A really nice tranquil place to stop off for a break in nice surroundings. The fishing lakes and surrounding lush countryside are simply gorgeous.

Lying within the parish of Cantley-with-Branton, Black Carr Plantation is a 20 hectare woodland largely created two hundred years ago as part of a 7000 acre estate. Ghost hunters will be interested to know that the plantation was once known locally as Wailing Wood. The name is linked with a tale still told by local people of a carriage which overturned in fog on Warning Tongue Lane many years ago. Several travellers were killed. One of the dead - a woman - is said to haunt the woodland on foggy nights, even to this day.

nice little stop off for a drink
