The Balancing Lagoon
Selected Wild Place / Other Wild Places / Public Rights of Way / VC55 boundary
Site species count:
Created in the early 1990’s as part of the commercial development of land to the south west of Lubbesthorpe Way. The area was designed to prevent rain run-off from the development overloading the Lubbesthorpe Brook. Previously the land was grazing fields but was “sculptured” to form a large dry lagoon. Several locations were planted with a variety of trees and shrubs, most not native to UK!
