May 22, 2023

This small nature reserve used to be part of Hermitage House gardens and is so called because it is believed in Tudor times the Bishop of St David’s used the location as a religious retreat. The site was given to the council in 1986 by a Mrs Valance as an open space for the benefit of the people of Mansfield and was given the status of Local Nature Reserve in 2004.

The reserve is dominated by the disused millpond of Hermitage Mill, which is surrounded by mature deciduous woodland of Ash, Oak with the occasional Holly and Yew and with ancient woodland indicators such as Wood Anemone, Bluebell, Lesser Celandine and Dogs Mercury.
