Remember the iconic orange "Hoveringham" Trucks? They transported the Gravel which was dug out of these pits. Now filled in they are home to Trent Carp Fisheries.

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/)

Lambley Parish Council have recently completed on the purchase of Lambley Reed Pond, a site of approximately 5 acres in the heart of the village, an area of natural beauty and a haven for wildlife.

Balderton Lake is a reclaimed sand and gravel pit which now also features a wooded area and grassland with walkways.

Mostly a hard packed dirt track (so probably not so good in winter) that runs between the two lanes with the occasional nice view of the lake

Good menu with plenty of choice. Loads of outdoor seating. Quick service and not expensive. There is a gravel road you need to ride to get to the lodge, it’s easy enough on a road bike.

Think this is now called Kingfisher lodge. Good food, quick service and fair pricing.
