Land near King's Clipstone, Notts.
This strip of land runs alongside the old Clipstone Colliery railway (now disused).Only a few years ago it was bare scrubland, but has been colonised with an amazing variety of wildlife. There are masses of wildflowers (at this time of the year - June - it is probably at its best), butterflies, including Common Blue, Small Copper, Small Heath, rabbits, foxes, and there was even a badger sett, though that is no longer active.
