This scenic open space features walking trails, a pond, and a variety of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and insects, amidst a tranquil atmosphere surrounded by trees and wildflowers.
Nice woodlands & wetlands walk, it's a small area but pleasent to walk through, there are a couple of routes that you can take, with entry and exit points onto the surrounding roads.
Lovely peaceful walk. Shame about the litter strewn in a couple of places.
Its a short walk around, but idyllic spot, with boardwalks and a few interesting items to keep the kids entertained.
I love this little nature reserve. It's always a pleasure to walk around and see what nature I can spot. Normally in Autum, it's good for fungi, but I visited in May today and the irises are just about to flower in the meadow. There was also lots of stitchwort flowering and quite a few moths fluttering about. If you go when it's been raining, wellies are almost certainly needed so bare that in mind if you plan on visiting.
Never knew something so beautiful was right on our doorstep! Despite being close to a few main roads, it is soo quiet and tranquil! Watching the butterflies playing together amongst the flowers and the small family of cows grazing in the sunshine was just magical!
Our first time visiting during Easter school holidays, seemed to be lots of different paths and plenty of exploring to do, there is no car park though so you'll have to find a nearby road to park on and walk to one of the entrances. Other than that it seems like a decent area for a walk so I'm sure we'll be back again sometime :-)
