A wildlife area close to the city centre. Not very big but quite a mixture of habitat. Wildflower species augmented by planting by volunteers.
Map takes you to Anglia Ruskin university by car..
Very disappointing. The actual reason for visiting, ie to see the ponds all gates to access ponds were padlocked shut. We spent £5.00 to park and after 20mins was back in our car and leaving.
This is a cool spot for using body weight exercises due to some bars and such available.
However it’s overgrown (there’s a path but it’s blocked either end by overgrowth) and nearly invisible to public.
Council should get involved to turn this into a small and local attraction to be proud of!
When the footpath by the pond is quiet you'll be surprised at what wildlife is so close to the city centre. Although kids rampaging for Pokemons often disturb the tranquility and startle some unexpected visitors!
Recent publicity of this area gives it a bad reputation, which can occur anywhere in town that is secluded and away from traffic!
