Nature Reserves
With so much open countryside it’ll be no surprise to learn that Nottinghamshire is a haven for wildlife, both in the wild at our excellent nature reserves and also at one of our many farm parks.
Farm parks offer something for all the family. Younger members can enjoy touching and feeding the animals, or make use of exciting play areas. Many farm parks also feature farm shops and tea rooms along with offering homemade ice cream.
The County of Nottinghamshire offers many things to do to keep you busyand is a great place to explore farm and countryside attractions.

Attenborough Nature Centre
Owned and managed by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, Attenborough Nature Centre is an award winning eco-friendly visitor attraction surrounded by the tranquil waters of the beautiful nature reserve.

Coming soon
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
