Ideal walk with kids

Lovely coffee food and atmosphere

Formerly the run-off collection pond for the colliery spoil tips, now a picturesque fishing lake run by Cotgrave Welfare Diamond Angling Club.

Part of Colwick Country Park, the stretch of land between the lakes and the River Trent is an interesting place to walk. You can see the boast in the mariners and the peaceful lake.

Colwick Country Park is a public park owned by Nottingham City Council. The Colwick estate which the park is based on is the gardens of Colwick Hall. There are a couple of lakes and areas of woodland and wetland habitat. The river Trent runs to the south and the racecourse and busy A612 run to the north.

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/)

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.

Open Thursday mornings until 12:30, usual cooked breakfast, Home made cakes etc

Welcomes Cyclists, serving fry ups etc, lots of tea and coffee. Get there early they close at 12:30

If it is above 15 -20 knots wind speed, it can be difficult on the way back up the lake, as it is a very open area
