Description
Wildlife
A scraped area is now well-established as a perennial meadow, while the adjacent mound, which is more fertile, is managed as an annual meadow. A mixed native hedge along the southern edge of the site provides an additional habitat, as does a small copse with bulbs below in the south-west corner. Across the path to the north, a mixed herbaceous and shrub bed contains species chosen to provide nectar for bees and other pollinators for as much of the year as possible.Facilities
