Knowle Hill
Knowle Hill
Formerly unimproved grazed farmland, this reserve has survived whilst the surrounding area has been built on. With areas of planted woodland, hazel coppice and elm thickets, there is a variety of bird life.
A mosaic of meadows, acid grassland and scrub dominates the south side, a particularly important area for butterflies such as small and large skippers, small heath, speckled wood and orange tip.
