Description
Wildlife
This site is of importance for the rare Thames, or two-lipped, door snail. This tiny mollusc is known from only a handful of sites in Britain, most of them along the River Thames in west London. The woodland, mostly of sycamore, has been set aside as a reserve specifically for the snail. It also occurs on the verges of Occupation Lane.Facilities
