hicks Lodge blue trail biking

Didn't see any conkers, was a bit disappointed

Great place for an hour or so out in the woods, the trail is a good workout and you can often spot animals in the evening. Deer occasionally, foxes and always crows. Try the green trail as well as it's quite twisty and turns and exciting, with lots of little up and downhills. There are some nice, welcome, benches and picnic tables 3/4 of the way round.

An RSPB nature reserve in the Tame Valley. Mainly focused on wetland birds but there is also meadow, woodland and farmland areas. Can get muddy and wet so appropriate footwear is important.

Very flowy trail, nice bumps and berms!

A bikes-only trail. Loads of jumps and berms - most of which are worn away. Follow the blue arrows.

An amazing place of hidden secrets, paths, tracks and streams and lakes. Lots of birds including buzzards, there's roe deer, munt Jack deer, badgers, foxes, squirrels, an abundance of Dragon flies. Lake walks, track walks, field walks, hill walks, road walks. There's also a container port and railway cutting that the wild life love Parking by the allotments.

Middleton Lakes is an RSPB nature reserve in the the River Tame Valley composed of wetlands, meadows and woodland. There are lots of paths to explore the reserve, which has displays of nature all year round, as well as a look-out hide. You can observe bird species including: grey heron, kingfisher, lapwings, Cetti’s warbler, barn owl, skylark, sedge warbler, pochard, tufted duck, smew, and more. It’s not just birds here, however.

A beautiful lake and nature reserve in between Croxall and Alrewas. The lakes were formed in the 1990s after sand and gravel were quarried from the area. You'll find lots of wildlife here, especially birds such as lapwing, oystercatchers and owls, and mammals like otters and water voles. The reserve is owned by the National Forest Company and managed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.

Seems to be the only industrial estate that contains a nature reserve.

Loads of walking trails around the area, can get very busy on a nice day.

Thos is the onlyindustrial estate i know that has thought about its impact on nature, they creates many nature reserves throughout, including a lake kn the centre. You will see the usual suspects, squirrels, xoal tits and an abundence of other animal life.

Conkers is great day out with a young family. Lots of outdoor walks, adventure playground, cafes, indoor adventure area and more. My kids loved it. Conkers is in the National Forest and sits on several of the National Forest trails and other footpaths. The Conkers Circuit (5m) is a favourite of mine for a gentle morning stroll.
