Snows Farm Nature Reserve is a 53-acre (21 ha) site of unimproved pasture, woodland and scrub in the heart of the Cotswolds AONB.

It's a superb place to explore in spring and summer, when the limestone grassland erupts with colour, supporting a number of orchids, as well as a plethora of other wild flowers.

There's plenty to attract bird lovers: over 70 different species have been recorded here. The complex warbling of ascending skylarks is a familiar sound, while sightings of great spotted woodpeckers, whitethroats, marsh tits, grey wagtails and tree pipits are also common.
