Between 1892-1970 this landscape was a hotbed of industry. Ochre, a natural clay earth pigment, was quarried and refined here. These days, the once-industrial landscape has been reclaimed by nature, albeit with some telltale signs of its past, and is now a haven for wildlife. Keep a lookout for birds, including kestrels, kingfishers, goshawks, and greenfinches. Frogs, toads, and grass snakes can also be observed, as well as foxes, squirrels, badgers, rabbits, water voles and many more. There is also a herd of goats in the reserve.

The Wick Golden Valley Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is an important and unique place. There are few reserves in South Gloucestershire with such a diverse habitat so readily accessible to the local community. The range of habitats includes the river corridor of the River Boyd, mature woodland, scrub, steep valley slopes and unimproved limestone grassland.

Don’t park in Rose & Crown Car Park, understandably they get annoyed.
