Nature reserve with mixture of woodland and meadow with some rocky outcrops and a small lake. Note that the reserve is only accessible for LRWT members.
Charnwood Lodge is one of the last truly wild areas in Charnwood Forest. Birds, bats, wildflowers, woodland butterflies, native trees, mosses and lichen all benefit from traditional, minimal management. It’s worth returning at different times of year so that you can experience that changing seasons fully and enjoy the species that the nature reserve attracts. As well as the forest, the area enjoys a reservoir, streams, ponds and fields. This is the perfect reserve for both ardent naturalists and those just wanting to get away from the city for a relaxing walk.
Buse variable, Faucon crécerelle and Épervier d'Europe are now quite common, and there have been several sightings in recent years of Faucon hobereau and Faucon pèlerin. In the spring and summer, listen out for Pipit des arbres and Pipit farlouse and migrant warblers as well as Bruant des roseaux. All three species of woodpecker occur, although the Pic épeichette is rare. Common in the woodland area are Sittelle torchepot, Roitelet huppé, Mésange noire and Geai des chênes
In autumn and winter Tarier pâtre can often be found in the meadow area also with flocks of Grive litorne and Grive mauvis.
