Description
Wildlife
The site is remarkably quiet and secluded, being almost entirely fringed by trees and shrubs to form a narrow strip of woodland. It also has good marginal vegetation in a number of places. Mandarin duck is amongst the breeding wildfowl. To the north there is grassland is acid in places, with an abundance of sheep's sorrel and the London notable slender parsley-piert. Other frequent herbs within the grassland are common knapweed, cat's-ear, yarrow, and lesser hawkbit.Facilities
