Walking trails

Footpaths cross the reserve, but these can be muddy and there are some inclines.

Sadly, Ash Dieback disease is infecting many large Ash trees on the site causing them to become unstable and shed limbs and collapse over time. Because of the danger posed by the infected trees we have had to close the permissive paths around the site. The public footpath that runs through the site remains open.

About the reserve

This is a delightful oak woodland with two streams and a quarry. The oak coppice is characteristic of many Cornish woods. It is an exceptional area for woodland birds, including the nuthatch, who runs up and down trees when looking for nuts, seeds and insects. Tawny owls can also be seen here, as well as pipistrelle.
