Attenborough Nature Reserve

Hello!

So I did go to Attenborough and got some wonderful dramatic shots since the weather was playing hide and seek. So there are three trails there: The Tufted Duck (1.9 miles), The Kingfisher (3.7 miles) and The Skylark (2.6 miles).
Right in the middle of the centre there is a handy board with a map and record of the local wildlife. There's also a really nice, eco-friendly cafe and a picnic area which is flooded with ducks and the occasional swan.
 The first trail I did was the Kingfisher...



 See? Sunshine!


Then I moved straight on to the Skylark. This is Fred's favourite route for one, very long reason... Trains!





 Then onto the Tufted Duck...

 Because it isn't a walk in Nottinghamshire without bluebells

All three walks are really well marked. It's pretty difficult to get lost... Unless you're on Skylark for the first time, not paying attention because you're lipreading your husband and nearly walk you both into a river. I mean... that never happened to me! *ahem*


Anywho, it's a lovely walk and if you're in the area I highly recommend it. It's great for all ages and families since all three paths are relatively flat (apart from the bridges).
