Weir Wood Reservoir is a Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, protected due to its role as one of the largest areas of open water in Sussex and the bird populations that it supports. There is a bird hide just off Legsheath Lane, along the south bank of the reservoir, with an outlook over the water. The western end of the reservoir is home to the sailing club.
