Description
Wildlife
The old fruit trees on this site may be important for invertebrates. Hedges and dense shrubbery provide cover for birds and other animals, and there are small areas of meadow and ruderal habitats. The nationally scarce musk stork's-bill is established in the grassland. Of interest to botanists, grey snake-bark maple has reproduced here from planted seedlings, only the second time it has been recorded as self-established in the British Isles.Facilities
