Description

Nestled on the edge of a suburbia, C.S. Lewis Nature Reserve has a pond surrounded by woodland which provides habitat for a range of birds all year round.

All year round, birds such as Mésange charbonnière, Mésange bleue, Troglodyte mignon, Pinson des arbres, Grimpereau des bois, Roitelet huppé and other garden birds are plentiful around the woodland. On the pond, Canard colvert, Gallinule poule-d'eau, and Foulque macroule are common sights. Héron cendré and Martin-pêcheur d'Europe can be seen on occasion along with other species.

In the Spring and Summer, Fauvette des jardins, Fauvette à tête noire, Pic vert, and others can be seen throughout the reserve.

Accès

Located at the South end of Risinghurst, C.S. Lewis Nature Reserve is located almost 5 km East of Oxford. Plenty of street parking is available to the North of the reserve and accessed along a footpath from the street. Bus connections are possible from the centre of Oxford heading out through Headington.

The paths are narrow, uneven, and can be wet and slippery in the winter and after rain. The bottom half is reasonably level on the North side of the pond with a hill on the South side giving multiple routes. Wheelchair accessibility is possible from the street to the pond, but going any further is difficult due to the terrain.
