WARSOP'S Carrs Local Nature Reserve has been announced as the attraction local folk are most proud of –– after a resounding victory in an internet vote.
The two-month Pride of Mansfield poll on Mansfield District Council's website allowed users to choose their favourite from 10 local attractions, including A Spire for Mansfield –– the towering stainless feather on West Gate, Mansfield Museum and Titchfield Park.

The Carrs, which was recognised as a Local Nature Reserve in 2005, was the runaway winner, claiming more than half the votes –– with The Viaduct which runs through Mansfield coming second.

Click the green icon for reaction from the council's portfolio holder for the environment, Coun Eddie Smith, and Friends of the Carrs chairman, George Kennedy.

This is the first instalment in our 'Pride of Mansfield' series, which takes a look at our pick of the local landmarks and beauty spot on offer across the district.

For the other episodes in the series so far, choose from below:

Episode Two: Mansfield Viaduct

Episode Three: Carr Bank Park

This poll just shows how proud the locals are of The Carrs. We know how lucky we are to have such a beautiful area on our doorstep! For it to take Pride of Place for the Mansfield area is great for Warsop as we are so often forgotten by MDC!

Wasn't it painful for Mr Smith to comment on it... Did he mention he was glad and pleased that The Carrs won (No?) Instead he did mention that The Carrs is fantastic but quickly had to mention there were other areas in Mansfield that people didn't know about (Eh? What's that got to do with The Carrs winning).
