This nature reserve may be relatively young, but it is already bursting with life. Just a few miles from Ibstock and Coalville, this is the ideal place to escape the area’s industrial heritage. Birdwatching is best in the late spring. A great site for warblers, listen out in the early mornings and late evenings for the reeling of the grasshopper warbler – just like a fishing reel!
Altar Stones | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust

Rocky Plantation | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Managed on behalf of the National Trust, this tiny mixed woodland is the perfect place to indulge in a spot of tree hugging – what’s the oldest tree you can find? Listen out for drumming woodpeckers and calling nuthatches or pop a sweet blackberry in your mouth in autumn.
Ulverscroft | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Ownership of this reserves is split between the Wildlife Trust and the National Trust, however the Wildlife Trust has managed both areas since 1966. A real gem in the heart of Charnwood Forest, this reserve offers a wide variety of habitats to explore.

Charnwood Lodge | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
At nearly 200 hectares, this beautiful nature reserve abounds with ancient history, atmosphere and wildlife.

Prominent 600 million-year-old Precambrian rock outcrops protrude through the surrounding marl and other Triassic deposits.
Lea Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Lea Meadows is a beautiful, diverse and historical nature reserve, teeming with wildflowers and birds. The meeting of meadows, woodland and a meandering stream make for a peaceful, wild experience – and if you’re lucky, you might even see a kingfisher!
Croft Pasture | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
This special nature reserve is very close to our wild hearts, as it was discovered by the late Stephen Bishop: once Honorable Scientific Officer to the Trust. This amazing geological site was formed by a glacier moving through. Birds-foot trefoil, wild clary, upright chickweed, meadow saxifrage, common stork's-bill and subterranean clover are just some of rare plants you might spot.
