Overview

Experience the delights of Attenborough Nature Reserve. This walk is part urban, part nature reserve with paths through golf courses thrown in for good measure! We make our way to St Johns in Beeston, a medieval Grade 2 listed church and then wend our way to the Nature Reserve and Beeston Lock. The walking is relatively easy.
