フリックスボローの湖・トップ4

Faxfleet is a little village sited on fenland where the rivers Ouse and Trent meet to form the Humber. From the path on the bank, there are sweeping views to the Wolds, and across to RSPB Blacktoft Sands nature reserve, Alkborough Flats and the largest sand bank in the Humber, Whitton Sands.

To be clear - Blacktoft is on the southern bank of the Humber, but the Trans Pennine Trail running along the north bank provides easy hiking/running with great views across to Blacktoft.

Lovely woodland dog walking area, with a lake for them to swim in. All off lead and free car parking.

The RSPB Blacktoft Sands nature reserve is the perfect spot for any avid bird watcher. It is the highest tidal reedbed in England and home to numerous native species with seasonal migrating birds using it as a stop off point.

Very relaxing circular route that takes you round the pond. Diverse wildlife and the view of the steel works in the background

Good place to take some photos.

Alkborough Flats was first flooded in 2006. It is designed to provide a place to store flood water during extreme weather and create a new habitat for wildlife. It has quickly become a massive reedbed with extensive areas of wet grassland, supporting a huge variety of birdlife.

Blacktoft Sands RSPB reserve is every nature lovers dream. Found on the banks of the River Ouse on the outskirts of Blacktoft village, the wetlands attract many species of birds and wildlife. The protected reserve has the largest reedbed in England. Rare breeds of birds such as the bittern, bearded tit, marsh harrier, and Montagu's harrier all call Blacktoft Sands home.
