Swanholme Lakes Local Nature Reserve can be accessed through Hartsholme Country Park. It was formed from a series of flooded sand and gravel pits. After quarrying finished in the 1960s vegetation was able to colonise and this has resulted in a mosaic of different habitat types that are important both nationally and locally in terms of biodiversity, featuring in National and Local Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPS). You can help preserve these special places by registering as a volunteer.
