Lovely walking along wooded pathways with pond and lakes. Lots of well established trees. Plenty of nature. Small free car park. Bird hides. Good chunky, solid benches dotted around the paths and there are a few picnic benches hither and thither. Enjoyed my time in this peaceful, green, wooded haven. Only slight negative - the information boards are so grimy black and clarted up, it really makes it difficult to read what information is on them.

We started in this nature reserve and extended into the neighbouring one. Car park isn't massive and needs a bit of a tidy up...

Nice little walk but didn't see much as a fair bit overgrown. Would have been nice for a bit more info on Peter Fidler, perhaps it's there and we just missed it?!

Lovely nature reserve with lots of trails and small ponds,will be fabulous in spring/summer for a bit of bird spotting It also leads into Carr Vale nature reserve again lovely trail beside the lake,its not a circular route but still well worth the walk

Great spot to start your journey for Carr Vale nature reserve and Stockley Trail where you can get some great views of Bolsover Castle.
Pathways are very good and the whole trek is lined with trees full of twittering birds.
Allow around 3 hours including pauses for photographs and a quick bite to eat. Plenty of benches and seating with tables.

Not a bad place at all, there's quite a lot of places to park around the trail. The walk is perfect for all ages, it can get a bit muddy in places, but ey, it's an outdoor attraction, what more can you expect. There are sign boards along the way telling you about the area and what animals you might expect to find there. There are also hide for you to have a closer look at the animals that live there. There is also a memorial dedicated to Peter Fidler and tells you all about him and what he did. A good 2 mile walk all in all.
