About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

This beautiful nature reserve consists of woodland and has a lovely nature trail to follow that a family will enjoy on a day outdoors. Many native birds live here and the sound of birdsong including the voice of the nightingale will be very apparent! Keep an eye out for the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker as if you are really lucky you may well spot one so remember to take binoculars.
