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!
Narborough Bog | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Narborough Bog is a unique reserve for Leicestershire and Rutland; over 6,000 years old, this reserve is a hotbed for wildlife in suburbia, with habitats including fen meadow, wet woodland and reedbed. Over 130 bird species have been recorded here, including kingfishers, tawny owls and all three species of woodpecker!
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
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.
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.
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!
