Saltersford Wood or Saltersford Valley is a 5.7-hectare (14-acre) Local Nature Reserve north-west of Measham in Leicestershire. It is owned and managed by Leicestershire County Council, and it part of The National Forest.[1][2][3]

This site has native woodland, hay meadows and areas of open water with fishing platforms for the disabled. These are called "flashes", and are the result of the flooding of Saltersford Brook caused by mining subsidence. There are picnic benches and a car park.[1][3]
