April to AugustAbout the reserve
The site is mainly grassland with some broadleaved woodland, scrub and streams. Meadow thistle and whorled caraway are two key species associated with the purple moor-grass and rushes that dominate this place. The meadow thistle is an elegant plant growing to almost three feet in height and with only the softest of prickles. A low mound on the stream's slopes may be the remains of a Bronze Age barrow. There are many barrows around this area.
