Small riverside nature reserve with ponds, reedbeds, boardwalks and mature trees offering reflections, intimate waterscapes and abundant waterfowl. Best at dawn or golden hour for soft light and mist; autumn yields rich colours and spring brings wildflowers and dragonflies. Level paths and boardwalks make most viewpoints accessible; free entry with a small car park on Purwell Lane—arrive early weekdays to avoid local dog-walkers.
