Explore lakes, woodlands, canal locks and old railway routes at Cotgrave Country Park, with walking, cycling, wildlife watching, fishing and a dedicated dog pool.
History and nature come together at Cotgrave Country Park, where old railway lines meet the Grantham Canal as it winds through the park, complete with working locks. Heron Lake is used by a local angling club, whose work helps protect and increase the variety of wildlife in the area. Keep an eye out for foxes, deer, rabbits and other animals that make the park their home. A variety of walking routes offer views across Nottinghamshire, while a disused railway line once used by the local pit has been repurposed as a route for walkers and cyclists, linking the park with Radcliffe and Holme Pierrepont. There is also a dedicated dog pool for visiting dogs.
