leisure time in the wysall area...

Why not pull on your walking boots and enjoy a gentle jaunt to make the most of the surrounding glorious unspoilt countryside and miles of quiet, country lanes for cycling & pottering along, or leave the roads behind altogether and take to the paths across the fields.

Keyworth Meadow  - This is a small traditionally managed pasture with brook, pools and marsh area. It is reached by a 15 minute walk down the Lings Lane track from the Wysall Road as it enters Keyworth.

The site, owned by Keyworth Parish Council, was designated a local Nature Reserve in 1992 and has an interesting list of birds, butterflies and meadow flowers.
