Reed beds and a lake at Attenborough Nature Reserve, with geese on the water and the nature centre's curved roof behind

Attenborough Nature Reserve

Barton Lane, Attenborough, six miles south-west of the city

Address: Barton Lane, Attenborough, Nottingham NG9 6DY
  • Outdoors
  • Free
  • Out of town

Walk the paths between the lakes and reed beds of old gravel pits by the Trent, now full of birds, then warm up in the nature centre's café on the water.

Why it's a good date: Peaceful and wild-feeling, with herons, swans and the odd kingfisher. The train stops at Attenborough, so you don't need a car.
