Entrance to Bramblefields local nature reserve "At the turn of the 20th Century this region was fen and farmland. More recently it was used as allotments but these were abandoned after poor yields. Today Bramblefields provides an idyllic haven for wildlife and people in the midst of a residential area. Local Nature Reserve status has helped safeguard the site from future development and with it a commitment to protecting its wildlife and community value."-From the Welcome notice.
