Surrey is home to some delightful nature reserves that are rich in wildlife and history.

From heathlands and meadows, to ancient woodlands and large lakes, there are plenty of beauty spots right on our doorstep.

A trip to a nature reserve not only makes a great family day out, especially when the weather is good, but it is also a perfect way to escape from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

As well as beautiful birds, you'll find fascinating flowers, graceful deer, delicate damselflies and stately trees.
