About
A 24-acre nature reserve in the heart of Bardsey, owned by East Keswick Wildlife Trust, with a field by the school and lower fenland along Bardsey Beck and the mill race. Look out for Dexter cattle, nesting buzzards, warblers and the area's only Common Blue butterfly colony. Dogs are not allowed because cattle graze year-round and birds nest on the ground.
