St Mary the Virgin Church, Attenborough

Highlight • Historical Site

Do ensure when you visit the nature reserve you take this route up to the church. Brilliant spot in fron of the church where when the water is still you can get a cracking mirror image photo in the lake.

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.

Beeston Lock

Highlight • Bridge

Beeston Lock is a pretty section of canal which carries boats from the River Trent to the centre of Nottingham. There's a riverside cafe and a bar to stop for a snack or drink. You can stop and feed the ducks here, too.
