Description
Wildlife
The line of trees in the park includes old and twisted pedunculate oaks, which were pollarded in the past. These provide extremely valuable habitats for insects living in dead and decaying wood.An outgrown hedgerow of mainly hornbeam trees marks the eastern boundary of the site. The localised hoverfly Didea fasciata occurs here. Along the southern edge is a large vegetated mound with elm forming a dense thicket.Facilities
