Beveree Wildlife Site is a bank of mixed woodland that runs along the edge of Hampton Football Club’s ground. The site as a whole is accessible via the entrance to Hampton Football Ground, Station Road. However the path through the bank itself is overgrown and there may be branches to climb over.

Description
Wildlife
The canopy is a mix of planted and self-sown trees, including Scots pine, ash, oak, sweet chestnut and cherry. A dense understorey includes elder, privet, mock-orange, holly and regenerating elm. The ground flora is dominated by ivy, cow parsley and bramble, with a fine display of bluebells in spring. Within the grassland, common bent is abundant with red fescue, cat's ear, red clover and frequent clumps of lady's bedstraw. Other species include small amounts of scentless mayweed, common vetch, meadow vetchling, hairy tare, lady's bedstraw, red clover and hop trefoil. An overgrown hedge, now a narrow strip of woodland, runs south from the bank alongside the football pitch. This has a canopy of tall ash and poplar over hawthorn and damson. A small meadow beside the hedge is dominated by meadow foxtail and meadow grasses with a few common wild flowers.Facilities
