Broadwater Warren

• About Broadwater Warren

Broadwater Warren is a brand-new RSPB reserve just south of Tunbridge Wells. Acquired in January 2007, it is a large area of conifer plantation, heathland and ancient woodland.

The plan is to restore the area to its former glory, a mosaic of open heathlands with mature woodland, some clumps of pine trees and a rare valley mire. Our work will benefit rare wildlife such as nightjars and woodlarks, and provide an inspiring quiet place for people to visit.

There are currently no visitor facilities at the reserve. The restoration will take 10 years to complete, but it will already be well on course after only a couple of years, and the creation of a small car park is planned in the early stages of the restoration.
