Watnall Spinney is a small linear band of woodland comprising a diverse range of tree and shrub species. Many of the woody species are naturally occurring and characteristic of the types of woodland found in this area. Tree species present within the woodland include English oak, common ash, English yew, lime, Field maple, common beech, cherry, horse chestnut, and sycamore. The latter has begun to dominate the composition in certain parts of the woodland, notably to the north-eastern edge.

There is a small, free car park just up from the nature reserve area, and another lay-by about 1/2 mile up. Several bridges and loop back paths cross over at various points and tracks are mainly gravel and soil. In addition, there are footpaths over fields moving away from the canal . Wildlife includes Moorhens, swans, ducks, birds, butterflies, damsel and dragonflies in various months. Lovely ‘Lord of the rings-esque’ tree tunnel when you turn right away from the canal opposite the ‘short cut’ route that takes you to Ilkeston houses and the railway bridge. Bulrushes, various flora. Level, easygoing trails. Several deep ponds are marked with signs at reserve (Trowell) end.
