Stunning location for a walk

Swanholme Lakes Local Nature Reserve was formed from a series of flooded sand and gravel pits. After quarrying finished in the 1960s vegetation was able to colonise and this has resulted in a mosaic of different habitat types in an area covering 63 hectares.

The scrub area around Coot Lake provides cover and breeding areas for a number of different species of bird including the nightingale. As a result of this dogs are not allowed on this walk between April and July inclusive (except assistance dogs).
