Red River Local Nature Reserve

Red River Local Nature Reserve, located off High Street next to St Luke's Church in Loscoe, Derbyshire, spans 13 hectares and features a pond that supports various wildlife, including the protected Great Crested Newt. Designated as a Local Nature Reserve in 2003, it offers a mosaic of habitats, making it a vital space for local flora and fauna amidst the surrounding urban and agricultural landscape.

The site is actively managed to maintain its ecological balance and to protect sensitive habitats from public use impacts. With a history tied to the ancient Draycott Estate, Red River serves as an important refuge for wildlife and a recreational area for the community.
