Although it looks 'wild', every part of the reserve is carefully managed to maintain and enhance the existing features. The reserve contains a woodland strip that is full of native trees and birdlife.
This leads to a large wildflower meadow that in summer is dazzling with bright flowers like yellow rattle and knapweed. These attract many colourful insects including damselflies and small copper butterflies.
The other half of the reserve is a mixture of wetland habitats including reedbeds, marsh and a large pond. This is home for the elusive water vole, reed warblers and buzzes with insect life. There is always plenty to excite your senses in any season of the year.
