Nature & outdoors

The Carrs Local Nature Reserve

An idyllic stretch of woodland, grassland and play areas nestled beside the River Meden. The Carrs is home to the Mill Pool, a popular spot for fishing, as well as a mix of picturesque walking and cycling trails, playgrounds, a skateboard park and a bowling green. Eagle-eyed visitors can often spot a wide range of bird species – from Goosanders to Ospreys.
