Local Unusual Experiences

• Moorgreen Reservoir’s “Islands”

  : While popular for fishing, this 38-acre reservoir contains deep spots up to 30 feet and picturesque islands that offer a more tranquil, secluded atmosphere than typical park walks.

• D.H. Lawrence Literary Trail

  : Moorgreen is the setting for Lawrence’s Women in Love (as “Willey Water”). You can take a self-guided “literary pilgrimage” to find the specific spots that inspired his descriptions of the Nottinghamshire countryside.

• Colliers Wood Nature Reserve

  : Located on the site of the former Moorgreen Colliery, this reserve offers two miles of waterside trails that blend industrial history with rewilded woodland.
