    A little oasis for birds and other wildlife between the River Rother and the main Manchester to London, East Midlands Railway line.

      A tiny little patch of nature with a nice loop path running around it, not too muddy in winter. Cross the road and follow the path either side of the river to the old Biwater site to make a decent walk.

        This mix of grassland and wetland provides refuges for many species, including water voles and harvest mice.
        Alongside a busy railway line, North Wingfield is a narrow strip of grassland, with the River Rother running through its southern half.


        In an area where there are few other wildlife habitats, the reserve is a useful refuge for a variety of plants and animals, including the water vole, which has now become scarce in many areas.

        A small area of oak woodland has been extended - this wood and the surrounding grassland contain many different plants, including lady's smock, perforate St. John's wort and prickly lettuce.

        In summer you are likely to see several common butterfly species, among them orange tip and peacock, while birds to look for include kingfisher, bullfinch and yellowhammer.
