レイブンズヘッドの湖・トップ20

Small Pond, clear water, we spotted some beautiful roach with silver body & red fins, mother moorhen & chicks hiding in the flora

Portland Park has woodland, grassland, and a number of wetland areas found in the valley of a tributary of the River Erewash, bounded by used and disused railway lines. The meadow area was once a limestone quarry, which was infilled during the 1950s and the park is known locally as ‘The Quarries’. The site is based on a band of magnesium limestone that enables many rare plant species to grow, making it a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The park has different trails, including flat paths and steeper climbs. If you're looking for a challenge, try the route up Clipstone Tip for spectacular views.

good starting point for walks and bike rides, can easily get into sherwood pines from here and all surrounding routes, a very nice area and seems popular for fishing

Really needed a better camera for the resident kingfisher but it's there if you look hard enough.

Spa Ponds is a beautiful area & Packman's Road is a nice ride through the woods. Makes a great link between Maun Valley, Clipstone Forest & Sherwood Pines via Vicar Water Country Park.

Beautiful spot, four ponds draining into the River Maun, reminds me of a mini Linacre Reservoirs!

Set of 4 ponds draining into the River Maun. Lovely, peaceful spot. You might see the odd kingfisher flying around if you’re lucky. Great place to walk but can get a bit muddy after heavy rain.
