Description

Much of the grassland is managed as a meadow. It is dominated by false oat-grass, perennial rye-grass and crested dog's-tail. Several common wild flowers also grow here, including common knapweed, oxeye daisy and several species of clovers and buttercups. The lake supports common waterfowl, but contains little vegetation.Facilities
