Two hundred and fifty thousand years after the Ice Age, the River Soar followed the course of the River Bytham and is now one of the primary sources of the occasional flooding of the meadows. It is home to bird and wildlife together with rare〔(Aylestone Meadows survey report available now - Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust )〕 and common flora.〔(Aylestone Meadows – Leicester’s Hidden Countryside " mike scheerer )〕〔http://www.lrwt.org.uk/media/uploads/news/am-publicreport.pdf retrieved 10/10/2014〕
A medieval packhorse bridge provides evidence of trade and previous populations. As this area was the site of floodplains, resulting in fertile land and good grazing areas, a settlement grew from prehistoric times to become the village of Aylestone. The construction of the Packhorse Bridge from local granite enabled transportation of goods across an area prone to flooding and includes several passing areas.〔''Aylestone Meadows'' by R N Hutchinson〕
