Syston Lake
Selected Wild Place / Other Wild Places / Public Rights of Way / VC55 boundary
Please note there is no dedicated parking. Visitors should not park in front of the reserve gate or neighbour's gates/lay-bys along Meadow Lane. Parking can be found on the roads that lead off Glebe Way. The reserve can be accessed through the entrance on Meadow Lane and also via a path leading off Glebe Way. We recommend using the Glebe Way route as there is no parking on Meadow Lane. If you were to park on Swallow Drive (off Glebe Way), you can pass through the gap in the hedge at the end of the Drive, walk across Glebe Way and into the reserve.
