Description
Wildlife
Parts of the park are managed to improve their value to wildlife, including areas of scrub, tall herbs and woodland. The woodland is dominated by oak and sycamore, with a small population of the locally scarce grey sedge in the ground flora. The woodland and scrub are of value for breeding birds and invertebrates. A low flint-lined ha-ha supports a number of locally rare ferns, including wall-rue and maidenhair and black spleenworts.Facilities
