Merry's Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Merry's Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Merry’s Meadows is one of the most diverse and flower-rich grasslands in Leicestershire and Rutland – a must visit for budding botanists, casual naturalists or anyone wanting to experience the sights, smells and sounds of a meadow in full bloom. With some rare and interesting flower species in the spring and summer, and fungi in the autumn, a few visits may be required!
Cribb's Meadow | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Cribb's Meadow | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Cribb's Meadow is a small but intricate mosaic of diverse habitats, made up of grasslands, two ponds and a disused railway line, where scrub and mature trees are taking back the land. A walk here is quiet and peaceful, especially in the spring when birdsong fills the air. If you look closely in the spring, you might be lucky enough to see great crested newts dancing in the ponds.
Wymondham Rough | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Wymondham Rough | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
A delightful meeting of old and new, people and wildlife, Wymondham Rough is a mosaic of woodland, ponds, grassland and marshes – with a length of disused canal thrown in!
Bloody Oaks Quarry | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Bloody Oaks Quarry | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Bloody Oaks Quarry is one of the best places in Leicestershire and Rutland to enjoy a spot of wildflower hunting or butterfly watching. Most of this tiny reserve is species-rich limestone grassland, which is rare in the two counties, making it a real gem for Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust.
Prior's Coppice | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Prior's Coppice | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
A woodland reserve teeming with wildlife and ancient atmosphere, Prior’s Coppice is a relic of the wildwood that once covered all of Leicestershire and Rutland. When you step beneath the trees, you can feel how old this remnant of woodland is. Some of the trees are several hundred years old and centuries of management have led to an ideal habitat for birds, beasts and butterflies (and botanists!).
Ketton Quarry | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Ketton Quarry | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Ketton Quarry is very much still a working limestone site, but parts of the area have been reclaimed by nature. Grassland, scrub and woodland are starting to creep back in, making the most of the hills and holes formed by extraction. This makes it an excellent site for butterflies, moths, wildflowers and reptiles, so a summer visit is a must!
Stonesby Quarry | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Stonesby Quarry | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
This tiny quarry reserve is one of the best spots in Leicestershire to enjoy wildflowers and the diversity of wildlife that they attract, so a trip in late spring and the summer to enjoy orchids, butterflies and even glow-worms is a must.
Launde Woods | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Launde Woods | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Made up of two of the most ancient woodlands in Leicestershire, stepping into Launde Woods is like stepping back in time. Oak, ash, hazel and field maple dominate Big Wood to the west, whilst Park Wood to the east was once a Forestry Commission plantation. The atmosphere is awe-inspiring, with a feeling of peace and grandeur.
Collyweston Quarries | Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs & Northants

Tilton Railway Cutting | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Tilton Railway Cutting | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Tilton Railway Cutting is a little slice of ancient history! A real-life Jurassic world (except with no dinosaurs), this reserve is managed as much for its geology as for it’s wildlife, 200 million years of history can be seen in the exposed rock layers.
