We will be organising a session on the 24th of February instead and hope to see you all there. We will be promoting the session in the next two weeks. Thank you all for signing up, and we hope you can make it next month instead. ***
Join us at Little Britain Lake for a fun day litter picking and tackling invasive species removal to help protect this beautiful site for both people and wildlife.

One of the Colne Valley Parks gems, a scenic lake bordered by the Rivers Colne and Frays—perfect for walking, fishing, and picnicking. Its name first appeared on a map in 1819, possibly inspired by the Britannic shape of the surrounding land. The lake itself was created after gravel extraction in the early 1930s.
