Attenborough Nature Reserve was established in 1966 and was opened by Sir David Attenborough. This much loved, nationally important site is best known for its birds with over 250 species recorded, but also provides a home for hundreds of species of plant and insects. It is cited as one of the best places in the UK to see kingfisher and is also home to rare wildlife including bitterns and otters. 

It is free to visit the reserve and see the woodland, meadows, riverside and lakes. The carpark is open 8am to 8pm. Please note, the Nature Centre and Café opening times change during the winter months.
