[edit] Nature Reserve
Near the church in Stillington, there is a renovated piece of land, that used to be a waste dump. It has been turned into a nature reserve, which has two main ponds, one of which contains species of freshwater fish (roach, rudd, mirror carp, tench, perch, common carp, crucian carp), and is a popular angling spot. There is a wooded area towards the top of the hill, which has a pathway leading through it, and is a wildlife hotspot. The landscape is mainly grassland, with patches of woodland.
There are currently plans underway to build either one or two wind turbines, to generate renewable wind power.
