This BCNWT nature reserve of 50 hectares has been created from former gravel workings in the Nene Valley. There is a large lake with several islands and a number of inlets together with some ponds and areas of trees, bushes and meadow. It should offer a good range of birds (with 4 hides), dragonflies, butterflies and other insects. The site is wheelchair friendly. There are no toilets.
