This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Floodplain Forest!

This area was formerly pastureland and was quarried from 2007 to 2014 for sand and gravel. We reopened the site in 2016 with 2km of footpaths, bird hides and information boards.

Today this unique nature reserve is a thriving wetland habitat which provides a home to a wealth of wildlife.
