The Beck walk - lovely scenery, wildlife, seating and a meeting place with the newly opened visitor centre off Messingham Road. This is an easy linear walk following Bottesford Beck, which runs for a two-mile stretch from Messingham Road to Ashbyville, with the opportunity to visit the Norman Church of St Peter's.

Laughton Forest is a site which was created to meet the demand to restock a depleted timber supply after the First World War. It was planted in the late 1920s, and continues to be managed by the Forestry Commission today. Before this time, the area was mainly open heathland with ponds, small woodlands and shifting sand dunes.The forest still supports a wide range of these habitats, which include many locally and nationally rare plants, animals and birds, including nightjars. The only area where access is permitted is in Tuetoes Wood.
