Little Paxton

Fewer than three miles north of St Neots at Little Paxton, is Paxton Pits Nature Reserve. Created alongside gravel workings, the Reserve attracts thousands of water birds, which visitors can observe from hides. The wealth of wildlife means that the area is an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and ensures a plethora of colour and activity all year round. The site also features Heron and Meadow Trails and a River Trail and a visitors' centre. It has thousands of visiting waterfowl, including one of the largest colonies of cormorants, and is particularly noted for its wintering wildfowl, nightingales in late spring and kingfishers. There are about four miles of walks, some suitable for wheelchairs. Spring and summer also bring a feast of wild flowers, butterflies and dragonflies.

Just north again is the Great Paxton church, originally a Saxon Minster.
