Paxton Pits is an area of active and disused gravel pits at Little Paxton near St Neots in Cambridgeshire, England.
The disused pits have been turned into a nature reserve with 77 hectares of lakes, meadow, grassland, scrub and woodland where you can enjoy a wealth of wildlife all year round. The reserve is famous for its nightingales and cormorants and is home to a wide variety of other birds, insects, mammals and flora.
There are two marked self guided walking routes around the reserve, together with the Rivet Trail that follows the route of the Ouse Valley Way.
The circular 2 mile Heron Trail goes past lakes, through woodland and along the river bank, and which has three bird hides to view the water birds.
