Small urban reserve of ponds, reedbeds and meadow offering close-up wildlife, migratory and resident birds, dragonflies and seasonal wildflowers. Flat boardwalks and hedgerows create layered foregrounds and reflections. Best at dawn/dusk for golden hour and mist; spring and summer for insects and blooms, autumn for warm tones. Free access from Laxton Rd with a small roadside car park; paths are level but bring waterproof shoes after rain. Weekday mornings are quieter.
