Former limestone quarry turned reserve with a sheltered lake, reedbeds, grassland and scattered trees. Ideal for reflections, intimate wildlife (dragonflies, waterfowl) and seasonal wildflowers. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and mirror reflections; spring–summer for insects and blooms, autumn for colour and winter for dramatic skies. Small car park on Billa Barra Lane; mostly flat but some uneven paths and boardwalks. No entry fee; expect local walkers on weekends.
