Description
Wildlife
Most of Weavers Fields consists of amenity grassland with mature trees, and a few small areas of wildflower meadow and copses of young silver birch. The most important feature for wildlife is the planted woodland on the eastern side of the park. This consists of a wide variety of native trees and shrubs, and has now matured nicely into an attractive wood, through which a nature trail meanders. Glades contain meadow flowers, adding to the attraction. A good range of common birds is present, including great spotted woodpecker and blackcap. Access to the park is via entrance points on all sides, and entry to the woodland is via gates at its north and south ends.Facilities
