Tame Valley Wetlands Community Wetland

Highlight β€’ Natural Monument

The Community Wetland project itself cost Β£110,000 and was funded through Biffa Award, the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Howard Victor Skan Charitable Trust and the Environment Agency.

It was led by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and Warwickshire County Council, working together in partnership as part of a series of landscape improvement projects being delivered through the Heritage Lottery Funded Tame Valley Wetlands Landscape Partnership Scheme.

The 6 hectare wetland has been transformed from disused waterlogged football pitches and restored to its original function as the floodplain of the River Tame. It now consists of new water channels, scrapes, ditches and reedbed, helping to restore floodplain connectivity.

Lea Marston Lakes

Highlight β€’ Natural

Lea Marston is a trio of purification lakes, originally formed by the Environment Agency through the reclamation of former gravel extraction sites. Established in 1980, these lakes played a vital role in cleansing pollutants from the River Tame. While no longer serving their initial purpose, these lakes hold regional importance as sanctuaries for wintering wildfowl populations. Visitors can explore the area, enjoying birdwatching from a designated bird hide and leisurely walks encircling the lakes.
