The corridor is rich in wildlife, has varied landscapes of meadow, heathland, woodland and scrub and a unique industrial past. There are places to explore, play, exercise and learn in, plus playgrounds for children to enjoy. Find out what there is to Discover and Learn. Maybe enjoy a local walk, download one of our maps or join a Walk & Talk listed under Events.
Water Voles Released in the River Crane
In 2024 water voles were released into the River Crane. This was a great occasion following years of preparation & volunteers creating habitats in the river. This video captures the water voles arriving and swimming off into the River Crane. It is hoped they propser and re-establish a viable, self-sustaining colony. Take a look & Enjoy !
