The Skylark Centre and Nature Reserve at Drax Power Station is a lovely area for children to explore, plus there is a nature trail and picnic area. The actual nature reserve is on Barlow Mound, a site where un-recycled waste products from the power station were sent. The area has been reclaimed and transformed into an area of natural beauty. There are over a 100 species of wildlife, including endangered and rare species on the site, as well as plenty of rest areas and nature walks. Open to the public and also offer experience for school children to learn about nature.
