Alexandrina Plantation, Bramcote Hills
Alexandrina Plantation is a local nature reserve managed by Broxtowe Borough Council; the area is also known as Bramcote Hills or Bramcote Ridge. It is part of an east-west sandstone ridge that divides Wollaton and Bramcote and runs to the Erewash Valley in the west. Although surrounded by considerable suburban development, the hills have never been built on (being very steep in places) and are now protected. The signboard makes reference to a blue butterfly scheme in the surrounding grassland.
