What to see

Habitats and species
The lakes at Whisby Nature Park are surrounded by grassland, marsh, scrub and willow carr. Elements of the original quarry landscape remain, with fragments of heathland, old hedgerows and a small oak woodland. In spring and summer, flocks of tits and finches are joined by warblers. The lakes attract feeding sand martins and swallows, and black-headed gulls nest on the islands. Chiffchaffs along with reed and garden warblers can be heard. Whisby Nature Park has also become synonymous with nightingales.

Walks and trails
There are six waymarked trails to choose from at Whisby Nature Park ranging from 1.2 to 3 miles. Paths are level and in many places have a hard surface of compacted limestone. When visiting, please keep to the paths as some areas are potential dangerous, particularly the deep water and disused washing channels.
