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!

Bluebells, badgers and woodland birds: what more could you want from this beautiful woodland? Adjacent to Eye Brook Reservoir, the reserve is bursting with wildflowers, mammals and birds, and is the perfect place to enjoy a wander. Test your birdsong skills in the spring or challenge your fungi ID knowledge in the autumn.
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.

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!).
