A compact mixed-woodland and wetland reserve with ponds, reed beds, wildflower meadows and boardwalks — strong for intimate landscapes, wildlife (waterfowl, dragonflies) and seasonal colour (spring bluebells, autumn leaves). Free entry, informal parking nearby off Shrub Hill Road; paths are mostly flat but can be muddy after rain. Best at dawn for mist and bird activity or golden hour for warm side-light; weekdays quieter.
