A view across Lambley Reed Pond nature reserve towards Park Lane. This wetland reserve has been owned by the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust since 1993 when it was donated by Mr & Mrs Burks of Reed Pond House. The reserve includes an area of unimproved grassland of 11.2 hectares and a spring-fed pond covering 1/3 of a hectare. It is thought that the original pond provided fish for the adjacent vicarage table. The pond is known to be marked on the 1609 "Sherwood Forest Map". It was however, drained or filled in at one point. In 1974 Mr Burks was able to restore water to the site by excavating a trench on the south side, lining it and allowing it to back-fill.
