Ancient mixed woodland and wetland with oak, alder, reedbeds and seasonal wildflowers—great for intimate forest scenes, reflections on shallow pools, birdlife and spring bluebells or autumn colour. Small car park in Alresford; free entry via marked footpaths and boardwalks. Best at dawn/dusk for soft light and active birds; spring and autumn offer peak colour. Paths are uneven in places—wear boots; weekday mornings are quieter.
