Our Story

Locally known as the Ressie, Coves Nature Reserve is located across from Inverclyde Royal Hospital. It was designated as a Local Nature Reserve in April 1998 and covers 48 hectares of mixed habitat which includes: 2 reservoirs, hedgerows, woodland and un-improved neutral grassland, all set within an urban environment. It also has historical significance through the reservoirs (once the main water supply to Gourock), the WWII anti-aircraft battery, copper mines and was once a farming estate. Thus it has strong cultural ties to the community.
