Nottingham is one of the most well known cities in the United Kingdom having made it's name in earlier centuries in a similar way to others due to the important industries that set up and thrived there. However, it's location and relatively small size also means that there are little gems of pure nature that still remain.Nestled between the suburb of Beeston and the city center itself is the Attenborough Nature Reserve that centres around the River Trent and a number of it's tributaries. Wild orchids grow in the marshy verges and a wide variety of birds including herons can be easily spotted here on any given day.
