This reserve is a major restoration project, reawakening the heathland that was lost here – as in so many places – to commercial forestry. Already, many hectares of conifers have been cleared, with heather seeds germinating, and rare heathland wildlife such as woodlarks, tree pipits, nightjars and sand lizards are returning.

Opening times

Main car park open from 10 am to 5.30 pm. Parking lay-bys on adjacent roads outside those hours.

Entrance charges

Free, but donations to help us continue our work here are welcome.
