May to SeptemberAbout the reserve
Part of a wider Local Wildlife Site with multiple records of nationally threatened species, the parcel of land was offered as a gift by long-term supporters of GWT.
Sitting adjacent to The Park & Poor’s Allotment, acquiring this reserve is an important step forward in our ambition to link together habitats on a larger scale, providing connectivity for wildlife to move throughout the landscape.
