Attenborough Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

This is a river path that's really easy and tranquil to ride along. There are numerous ponds and it's a really popular bird-watching spot. From the trail you'll reach a fork at one point and you can either keep following the river or take the turning and head into the nature reserve (£3 donation). If you want to take a closer look at the birds you can go into the nature reserve office and obtain a pass to access the bird hides.

On weekends it gets really busy so having a bell is advisable or time your route so that you pass here in the mornings or late afternoon.
