Wyver Lane Nature Reserve is a superb spot for an amble, particularly for wildlife lovers. It comprises two pools surrounded by reed beds and water meadows.

It's an important wetland site and home to Canada geese, tufted ducks, little grebes, while large numbers of gulls visit in winter. The reserve is also home to otters, a glorious sight.
