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.
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.
Wymeswold Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Wymeswold Meadows | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
One of the most magical things about visiting Wymeswold Meadows is the sense of seclusion you get when you step through the gates. The river is deeply cut, and, despite being so close to the road, this is the perfect spot for immersing yourself fully in the wild.
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!).
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.

The atmosphere is awe-inspiring, with a feeling of peace and grandeur.
