Attenborough Nature Reserve
In 1966, the Attenborough Nature Reserve was opened (somewhat appropriately by Sir David Attenborough). Attenborough Nature Reserve is an eco-friendly visitor attraction and education centre surrounded by tranquil waters of the beautiful Attenborough Nature Reserve. Listed as one of the top 10 eco destinations in the world.
The reserve runs along the banks of the River Trent on the south side of Nottingham and is made up from an array of lagoons intersepted with grasslands, reedbad and wet woodland. These habitats are home to a huge variety of waterfowl, insects and other fascinating wildlife.

Plans are underway to create a major new RSPB reserve on the outskirts of Beckingham, Nottinghamshire. The Beckingham Marshes Project is one of the UK’s biggest wetland habitat restoration projects. When completed, it will cover over 800 hectares of farmland – the equivalent of approximately 1,600 football pitches. The project aims to revert land back to grassland and work with local farmers to re-introduce a cattle-grazing system, beneficial to ground-nesting birds such as lapwings, snipe and redshanks.
