Broadwater Warren

Broadwater Warren is an exciting new RSPB reserve just south of Tunbridge Wells. Acquired in January 2007, it is currently a large area of conifer plantation, plus remnants of heathland and ancient woodland within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Our plan is to restore the area to its former glory, a historic mosaic of open heathland and ancient woodland, with some clumps of pine trees, a rare woodland mire and forest ponds, and in doing so benefit a wide range of rare wildlife such as nightjars and woodlarks.

Even though we are still at a very early stage in the restoration, you are very welcome to visit. There is a new car park, open from 7 am until dusk daily, where you can pick up a free guide to follow the new nature trail.

The official public consultation into our plans closed on 3 July 2009. The responses are currently with the Forestry Commission, who will report back to us in the near future.

Please contact us if you have comments about the reserve:
