This nature reserve features a mix of woodland, grassland, and wetland habitats, with a variety of wildlife including birds, bats, and insects. The Old Moat, a medieval moat, is a prominent feature of the reserve, surrounded by a circular walk. The adjacent Glebe Meadows offer scenic views and a peaceful atmosphere, with wildflowers blooming in the summer. The reserve also includes a community garden, where locals grow their own fruits and vegetables.
A beautiful and peaceful place for a quiet and gentle walk, flat. Plenty of butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies, small fish, water birds. Closest/best place to park is Arlesey railway station car park. PS3.30 for the whole day (off peak). Do not use post code advertised for SatNav/directions. You will be taken to the industrial units on the wrong side of the railway line (with no parking anyway).
If you want to spend a day watching nature than this is the place, you will see many varieties of birds, butterflies, insects and plants come along and enjoy.
A beautiful place to walk with great sunset views and a beautiful stream
Lovely quiet spot to wander and meditate or just relax. For bird activity, between March and June is best, as you will see and hear a great variety of song birds, as they arrive from their winter break. Plenty of butterflies and other invertebrates to keep the kids occupied.
Well hidden nature reserve following the River Purwell. Park in Arlesey West Side Station. Great for butterflies and Damselflies. Note the old bridge on the right as you enter. Also do not forget to follow path the other side of the main road, go under the main flyover.
