Small heathland and reed-bed reserve with ponds, boardwalks and open grass — ideal for close-up insect and dragonfly shots, water reflections, birdlife and intimate landscape frames. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and mist on water; spring–summer for wildflowers and insects, autumn for colour, winter for stark skies. Free entry with a small car park on Ancells Rd; paths and boardwalks give easy access but bring waterproof shoes for muddy sections.
