Middleton Lakes

Water, fields and woodland create the perfect living classroom

Take some fresh and some seasoned woodland, add a few fields, extract some gravel, and soak liberally in water. The result is an ideal out-of-the-classroom experience.

And with its mix of habitats, recent industrial past and the fact that it is an active flood plain, Middleton Lakes is an ideal place to study a variety of environmental topics.

However, we are happy to accommodate requests from any subject area, and we specialise in tailor-made courses which link to the individual requirements of your course and students.

Your students gain more from their visit by taking advantage of our pre- and post-visit outreach sessions. We also offer customised stand-alone outreach sessions on topics such as careers in conservation and human impacts on the environment.

All you need to bring to Middleton Lakes is enthusiasm and energy for a great day!
