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

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.
Rothwell Gullet | Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs & Northants

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!
