The site has four former gravel pits which are now lakes, together with areas of grassland, willow woodland and reedbeds. Birds include wigeons, tufted ducks, teals and great crested grebes, and there are insects such as dragonflies and butterflies.[1]
There is access to Island Lake and Roman Lake, but not to Peter Prince Memorial and Teddy's Lake. The Ouse Valley Way runs along the western edge.
