Beskrivning

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 trädlärka and nattskärra, gråhäger, kungsfiskare, större hackspett, svartmes, entita, Mindre korsnäbb, gulsparv, and Warblers.
