Description

Broadwater Warren covers approximately 182 hectares of restored heathland and native woodland. Once a conifer plantation, the site has undergone significant restoration to revive its historic landscape of heathland and native woodland. The transformation has created a rich mosaic of habitats, including scrubby woodland margins, scattered pine stands, and rare woodland mire. It is now a vast area of woodland with heath, pines and ponds. Multiple paths and trails, including accessible trail. Sightings of Alouette lulu and Engoulevent d'Europe, Héron cendré, Martin-pêcheur d'Europe, Pic épeiche, Mésange noire, Mésange nonnette, Bec-croisé des sapins, Bruant jaune, and Warblers.
