Wildflower Meadow

Wildflower Meadow has grass snakes, common lizards, glow worms and more than 20 species of butterfly. The meadow is managed as part of the wider 400-acre site.

The meadow sits near the Nockatt Coppice nature reserve and the broader woodland that supports over 80 species of trees, 40+ species of breeding birds, and 30+ wildlife ponds with frogs, toads, and all three British newt species (smooth, palmate, and great crested). Tawny owls can be heard calling after dark, and free-roaming roe deer and muntjac are regular visitors to lodges in this part of the forest. The SSSI woodland here contains notable butterfly species including the small pearl-bordered fritillary, white admiral, and silver-washed fritillary.

This stop connects the outer lodges with the Sports Plaza area.
