Aylestone Meadows, Nature reserve in Leicester, England.
Aylestone Meadows spans 22 acres of flood meadows, woodland, and wetlands along the River Soar and River Biam near Leicester's center.
The medieval packhorse bridge, constructed from local granite, enabled merchants to transport goods across this flood-prone region through centuries.
The Great Central Way, a former railway line through Aylestone Meadows, now forms part of Leicester's recreational network for residents.
Multiple pathways, including tarmacked surfaces and boardwalks, connect different sections of the meadows for walking, cycling, and horse riding.
The meadows support grazing Longhorn cattle during summer months while otters frequent the riverside areas throughout the year.
