Brereton Heath Local Nature Reserve

About

Brereton Heath Local Nature Reserve, over 50 acres of mainly silver birch and oak woodland surrounding a 15 acre lake as well as areas of heathland, a wildflower meadow and wetland areas.

Story

There is a wealth of bird life, particularly in the woodland. Great and Lesser spotted woodpeckers, nuthatch, treecreepers, kingfisher, heron, great crested grebe, goldfinch are just a few of our regular sightings.

There are recreation areas suitable for picnicing. Cycles are permitted and dogs do not have to be on leads as long as they are under control, but visitors are expected to clear dog waste from all areas outside the woodland. Dog waste bins are provided.

For those with mobility problems, there are free dedicated parking spaces, and a wheelchair accessible route follows the perimeter of the lake. A disabled toilet is available, for RADAR key holders.

Brereton Heath has a visitor centre, which includes a visitor information room, toilets, and changing rooms for lake users.

The park is open by 8.45am each day, and closes at 5 p.m. during the winter, and 8.30pm during British Summer Time.
