A nice pond in the middle of Newstead Abbey gardens which you will find not far from the main building

Fantastic flat path that goes all the way around the regatta lake... Great for cycling, walking running and jogging.

Small but pretty little trail around the elaborate 18th Century water-management system to control the water from the River Leen, used to power several local Cotton Mills. "Castle Mill" now a private house on site, was one of them. Moor Pond Woods was used as a reservoir.

A 100m tall Wind Turbine was built in the centre of the site

Annesley Pit Top is one of few pit tops that has escaped the generic ‘restoration’ process. Campaigning by local birdwatchers and conservation bodies, its uniqueness as an old pit top was thankfully rescued. Having a cluster of small settling ponds and extensive rough grassy areas rendered it particularly attractive for wildlife, and in recognition of its value, it was soon designated a SINC (Site of Importance for Nature Conservation).

A Local Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire The Netherfield Lagoons, Local Nature Reserve is situated on the Trent Valley Flood Plain in Nottinghamshire and has been partly used as a dump for coal slurry but with two remaining gravel ponds. The two slurry pits are separated by a raised causeway, which is elevated some 50 feet (15 m) above the pits, giving a commanding view of the area. The largest tank is virtually full but retains some water, with muddy edges attractive to waders and roosting gulls and terns. The smaller tank is mainly deep water, attracting good numbers of wildfowl, with smaller birds, especially warblers, feeding and breeding around the tank edges. The site consists roughly of three compartments, the Slurry Lagoon, the Deep Pit and the two Gravel Pits. (source: https://www.gedlingconservationtrust.org/netherfield-lagoons/)

Sansom Woods have great easy walking paths, criss-crossing throughout them. One of the scenic routes leads to / from Burntstump Hill and follows the edge of the wood with views out over the Nottinghamshire hills, finishing up here at the ponds, or you can extend your walk from here into Blidworth Bottoms woods.

A lovely wood with lots of features. Popular with dog walkers and families there is easy access and a nice combination of wooded and open grassy areas. Lovely for an autumn stroll.
