Berrylands Nature Reserve

Newly improved public access over the last couple of years by local people with the help of the Environment Trust, along with naturalisation of the Tolworth stream and digging of a new wildlife pond is starting to encourage native flora and fauna to thrive in this cosy little reserve in the middle of suburbia.
Of particular note today, 21/04/19, was the millions of tadpoles in the pond.

Just visited today. Really nice place for a walk. Took the dog for an hour stroll. Woodland walks mixed with river walks. Found the wildlife pond. Really pretty

A lovely place to walk dogs but also nice for a family stroll. Varied walks along the river or through wooded areas and if you're lucky you may see a Little Egret, Buzzards, Kingfishers, Herons and a lot more wildlife.

This nature reserve is lovely. It's a bit smaller than most reserves, but makes for a pleasant walk. There are often Egrets and Herons hanging out here, which is perhaps why you don't see many fish. It has a convenient and free parking lot at one end, and the other end crosses over a road straight into the Hogs Mill River park, which is another lovely walk you can add on - bonus!

Nice local open space. Good for short walks. Very popular with dog walkers, not so good for those with access issues

A lovely place to walk your dog, meet other dogs owners and make new friends. There are several entrances, wooded areas and open fields to exercise on. From surbiton hill park you can access an area which runs along side the river stretching up to the A3 about 1.5 miles long. Another area across the road in Elmsbridge Avenue also runs a similar length behind the houses along the river down to sterling walk and further coming out where they are building the new sainsburys local on the Raeburn Avenue / Alexandra Drive junction. I noticed on my walk a bug hotel not far from the sterling walk entrance, a few young squirrels, a woodpecker, several crows and pidgeons. My daughter spotted a kingfisher, but as much as i tried i could not find it.

Another nice oasis of calm in the spring, with plenty of blossom and new growth appearing amongst the longer established trees. There are plenty of colourful spring flowers of many varieties crowding the banks of the small streams running through the area too.

Peaceful woodland area with a small river/stream running through it.
