This small, low lying reserve is on the northern side bank of the River Cam as it enters the City. This pleasant woodland contains a central marsh area, wet woodland and a number of riverside mature willows. Notable species include Butterbur, which was first recorded over 400 years ago and the rare Musk beetle, which favours wet woodland tree species such as willows in which to lay its eggs. The site is managed by the Wildlife Trust and by a committed team of volunteers.

  • The reserve is on the north bank of the river just south west of the Lammas Land car park (i.e. across from the current location). I'm going to move it.
