Whisby Nature Park offers a great series of trails around the many lakes and extending into the wood and marsh land area across the railway line. Car parking and visitor / cafe facilities make this a great place for a walk or run. Most paths are a hard surface of compacted limestone.

The scrub area around Coot Lake provides cover and breeding areas for a number of different species of bird including the nightingale. As a result of this dogs are not allowed on this walk between April and July inclusive (except assistance dogs).

A lovely viewpoint overlooking Thorpe Lake at Whisby Nature Reserve. If you need a breather, there's a bench here to sit on and admire the view while undertaking a quick recovery!
