Extracted from the Wiltshire Wildlife Trusts Website:
"Wiltshire’s only fenland nature reserve, on the outskirts of Pewsey, is a beautiful, secluded spot for a walk, with lots to see including the Belted Galloway cattle that graze the wet meadows. The reserve is criss-crossed with paths, giving good access to most areas...

Some of the rich plant life here, in particular the tall spikes of the southern marsh and common spotted orchid, and the powerfully-scented meadowsweet, owe their wellbeing to the Belted Galloways. This herd of shaggy-coated rare breed cattle, which thrives on the exposed hillsides of south-western Scotland, is happy to graze on the rough, coarse vegetation that grows on the fen, helping to maintain a rich variety of plants."
