About the reserve

The reserve is mainly wet meadows with a stream, shallow pool, hedgerows and woodland. Greater tussock sedge forms large, dense clumps and in the pond you may spot toads, distinguished by their warty skin, or common frogs with their smoother skin. They come here to breed in the spring months amongst the white water lilies and yellow flag iris.
