Whisby Nature Park is made up of a series of flooded former gravel pits which are home to a wide variety of wildlife. Thorpe Lake is the largest and deepest lake in the park.
Dogs may only be off a lead (and under control) once there are signs that indicate this. The signs are at the beginning and the end of the route.
There is a Visitor Centre (Natural World Centre) with a shop, café, exhibitions and toilets. Outside there is a playground and Life Trail.
Mobility scooters and wheelchairs can be hired. To book call 01522 688868.
The park is open dawn to dusk daily, and there is a small parking charge.
