This is a very tranquil and few visited nature reserve. The one path takes you in and out of the reserve. This path is quite muddy in wet weather and is uneven and so is not suitable for wheelchairs. The reserve starts in dry deciduous woodland with oaks and silver birch before transforming into a wet woodland visiting of ponds and willow carr. One of the star species, water violet, seems to have disappeared, and the invasive New Zealand pygmyweed has taken hold. However, the sites main attraction is it's quietness and unusual habitat in the somewhat monotone surroundings. Definitely worth a look round.
