Lucas' Marsh | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
This wonderful, if tiny, wildlife haven is just a few miles from Leicester City Centre – urban nature brought to life. The diversity of habitats, including a scrubby area for nesting birds, in such a small space attracts an array of wildlife – it’s worth popping in a few times throughout the year to see what else has turned up!
Croft Pasture | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
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.
Wanlip Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Wanlip Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
A network of scrapes and wet meadows, Wanlip is the ideal place to try your hand at birdwatching. The wetland supports a number of birds throughout the year, but the winter and spring are our favourite times to visit – wrap up warm for winter for wildfowl, and explore in summer for wading birds, which adore the muddy edges to the scrapes.
Lea Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
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!

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.
Cossington Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Cossington Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
This wetland haven is worth visiting all year around, but comes alive in the winter, when rafts of ducks, like wigeon and teal, gather on the lakes, and short-eared owls hunt over the meadows. Wrap up warm enjoy a brisk winter walk to one of the best wildlife spots in the Soar Valley.
Ulverscroft | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
