Mapperley Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Mapperley Reservoir is a peaceful body of water surrounded by bluebell woodlands, rolling farmland and some fascinating remains from the area’s coal mining heritage. The countryside around here is great for wildlife spotting, especially bird watching. Keep a lookout for coot, moorhen, mallard and kingfisher. In summer, listen out for the songs of chiffchaffs, willow warblers and blackcaps, plus the more familiar calls of robins and chaffinches. There is a visitor centre in nearby Shipley Country Park.
