Ashby de la Zouch and New Lount Nature Reserve

The 50 acre New Lount Nature Reserve contains mature woodland, grassland and ponds, some old and some new.

Once the site of the New Lount Colliery the site now supports a diverse abundance of wildlife and around 1 mile of paths and bridleways.

In some parts, remains of the old colliery can still be seen, such as railway tracks of differing gauges.

Near the car park, there is a information board showing the layout (including photographs) of the site when it was still in use.
