Reviews of St Chad's Nature Reserve

C. P.

A lovely nature reserve although sadly covered in too much dog poo along the paths to warrant five stars. A quick walk around the water followed by a loop around the churchyard and a similar offshoot along the road before returning to the car park. The plaques telling the history of the area were superbly written and well illustrated. Definitely work a look.

Oh what a beautiful piece of planet Earth this is 🥰 When you arrive you'll enter the small carpark which is free and from there pick your trail. It's a small nature reserve, you can walk around the lake in about 30-45min, medium speed but it is breathtaking. There is diverse wildlife mainly birds so perfect for bird watching. The surrounding areas are pastures with horses, so please be mindful and keep your doggie under close control at all times. Around the lake there are lots of benches to sit and admire the few as well as few picnic tables.

Lovely place for a short walk. Peaceful.

Such a lovely little walk with lots of nature and beautiful scenery. Not a long walk but perfect for people with kids and its pram friendly with lots of benches so you can stop and take in the view. Always clean and tidy and the car park usually has plenty of spaces too.

m. b.

Nice, flat walk. Buggy friendly and free parking. Distance around is just under 1mile. Ideal for a gentle jog, walk, fishing, plenty of benches around the water. Small space near the car park for a picnic with area to feed the ducks and birds

A. S.

This is a great place for a short walk, very flat and a good surface under foot all the way round. Very popular with anglers, lots of wildlife.

B. S.

Nice little picnic spot and a good place to feed the ducks. The path around the nature reserve is very well maintained from what I saw with some of it being elevated concrete pathways so ideal for wheelchair users. The only negative was the height limit barrier with no marked height however it's about 2m high which was no problem for my 4x4

K. T.

Beautiful little walk around the water, nice paths for walking and double pushchairs. Lots of benches to sit on. Recommend

D. B. P.

What a great spot. Took some clients for there Pre-wedding photo shoot here. Lovely little walk with the sun just in the right place during the golden hour. Found a good bit in the field next to the water as well.

n.

Beautiful little lakeside walk, level pathway all the way round the lake, recent weather has meant the path is a little uneven in places at present, worth noting for wheelchair users.

S. N.

Love walking around Chad's Nature Reserve. Met some other lovely dog owners. The lake is just beautiful and the swan turning full circle for me was amazing xx

G. D.

I love this place. It gets such good sunsets. So quiet and peaceful. Great little nature reserve.

A. S.

Nice for a little walk around, pushchair friendly too!

L. M.

Beautiful place lovely autumn colours and lots of birds

J. D.

Beautiful little walk around the nature reserve, flat paths make it accessible to most people. Well maintained by lovely volunteers.

A. W.

One of our favourite places for a morning walk. All the footpaths are beautifully maintained and the wild birds are spectacular.

C. H.

We went when there was a beautiful sunset so the sunset reflected on the water beautifully

B.

Although the weather wasn't that good it didn't rain. The area is lovely, good walk all around the lake, lots of birds to see and photograph and other wildlife. Well kept walkway. Parking area good but not huge. Areas to sit and eat or just sit take in the surroundings. Will be back again.

J. S.

Nice place for a dog walk and always clean and tidy

A. S.

Small reservoir, 30 minute gentle stroll round, lots of ducks, geese and swans to feed. Pretty woodland, well kept, free small car park.

I. B.

Very relaxing and pleasant walk around St Chad's Water right next to the beautiful old St Chad's Church. Plenty of wildlife to see and a lovely spot for a picnic or just to sit and watch the sunset over the lake.

C.

Beautiful place. Amazing little historical church opposite too.

D. M.

It is a nice tranquil place to go for a stroll round the lake. The path is level and pretty flat. It doesn't take long to walk around. Plenty of birdlife.

H. C.

Lovely surroundings to walk around with your dogs, but need more poo bins around and path very uneven specially for the elderly people. Otherwise it's good place for watching birds or swans

D. M.

Lovely place to walk around the lake which must be about a mile. It can be negotiated by people with limited mobility. Some people who use it lack some consideration for others.

K. C.

Great lake. Dogs and children live a walk here. Plenty of wildlife to see too

J. A.

Great little walk or place to sit and enjoy some peace and quiet.

J. B.

Really nice short walk. Starting in the orchid wood car park. Through the wood, down the coffin walk, round Chad water and back again.

a. b.

Great place to visit although I did end up picking other people's rubbish up. Signs up saying to keep dogs out of water but I did see 2 dogs in it chasing the ducks. Other than being wary of dogs off leads it is a quiet place for a walk with footpaths all around the lake

K. H.

Beautiful place to take a walk. Right opposite one of the oldest churches in the country too. Well worth a visit.

B. L.

Lovely, quiet area. Good parking. 10-15 minute walk around the lake on a good path. Good views and atmosphere.

T. P.

Great place to go for a walk on a well laid path. Ideal for a quick doggie walk especially if you have a child's buggy or mobility scooter. There are bins on the way round for dog poop

s. b.

Lovely place to have a steady stroll around at any time of year with your dog or kids, or in my case the grandkids They especially love feeding the duck's and little birds that live around this area Some seating set around the pond so you can sit and take in the surroundings Lovely place whatever the season

D. D.

Love place for winters walk

C. D.

Great for a 20 min stroll and feed the ducks with kids

D. C.

A small quiet corner of Derbyshire to have a peaceful hour or two. There used to be some lovely wood carvings scattered around the lake, however these have all been damaged or vandalised now. Popular with dog walkers.

B. S.

Small but good for a walk or picnic

R. B.

Lovely, peaceful place.

J. D.

Very peaceful and relaxing. Love to see the wildlife which seems to change on a weekly basis

J. M.

Enjoyed watching the birds as some generous people had put feeders and fat balls up in the trees. Wouldn't go walking there on my own as a couple of dodgy looking people hanging around the carpark.

W. D.

Good walk nice and quiet.

R. H.

It's a very lovely, peaceful place to go for an afternoon walk. I'd wrap up warm in the colder months though!

P. D.

Brilliant little walk. The lake reminded me of Gypsy wood that was part of the old priory on Breadsall Hill top before the awful Oakwood was built.

N. B.

Very nice walk on the path around the lake. Well worth a visit.

J. P.

Out of the way quiet spot, with a few parking spaces and good footpaths all around the lake. There are information boards and a few places to sit.
