RSPB The Lodge
Ramble through rolling heathland and spot Hobbies racing after dragonflies in warmer months and perhaps large flocks of thrushes darting around in winter.
For 5,000 years heathland was the main habitat in this part of the world, but forestry and farming took over in the 1800s. In 2005, the RSPB began a project to restore some of this former habitat. The chosen area, known as Sandy Heath, was transformed by stripping turf and mowing, while sheep were brought into graze. The area was then reseeded with heather and new pools were created for Natterjack Toads. The reserve is now one of the best inland sites to see these amphibians.
The gardens at the Lodge are organic and no peat is used. We hope people will visit and be inspired to make their own gardens and outdoor spaces wonderful places for wildlife.
The reserve offers car parking (free for RSPB members), a Cafe and a Shop, toilet facilities and a natural wild play area.
Events are regularly held and are available to book through the reserve events page.
