Wollaton Park

[1] It was enclosed by Henry Willoughby, 6th Baron Middleton with a 7-mile (11 km) red brick wall at the start of the nineteenth century.

Planning permission to convert Lenton Lodge to a single dwelling was obtained and major restoration work was undertaken by Moiz Saigara, using Julian Owen Associates as the architect.

The main part of this work -apart from restoration and installation of services – was filling in the middle archway in such a way as to be able to connect the two wings without detracting from the appearance which identifies the building as a gatehouse.

It is built of coursed Gritstone ashlar in a heavy Gothic style with "martello-type" round outer towers with battlements.

Migrating wildfowl grace the lake in the winter and species of note include gadwall, shoveler, wigeon and tufted duck.

There is a good diversity of fungi present,[11] especially in the winter months, mainly found near the wooded areas and the lake.

[12] These exotic birds have been breeding in London for several decades and spreading across the country, with sightings in Peterborough, Manchester, Liverpool, and even as far north as Edinburgh.
