RSPB Middleton Lakes

Beautiful and tranquil, Middleton Lakes is a mosaic of wetlands, meadows and woodland in the heart of the River Tame Valley. Several kilometres of trails lead visitors through a variety of rich habitats, alive with a variety of birds including grey herons, kingfishers and lapwings. A land transformed from gravel pit to nature’s paradise, our reserves are looked after in a way which creates perfect conditions for a wide variety of wildlife.

The play meadow has been designed for families. You’re encouraged to experience nature up close and personal. Scramble up the grassy mound, build a den, hunt for bugs and spend time in nature. Seasonal pond dipping is also available from our welcome hub which is ran by a welcoming team of volunteers. Special events, including those for families, make it an ideal spot to get outside into nature and discover something new.
