Happy Valley

Happy Valley is a designated nature reserve that's home to a wide variety of habitats and wildlife, including woodland, marshy grassland, ponds and streams. It's also a Site of Biological Importance in recognition of these habitats.

Parts of the woodland within the site are ancient woodland. They contain species which reflect this, such as bluebells which provide a wonderful blanket of colour in the spring.

The stream, Lady Brook, flows through the site and provides an interesting contrast to the surrounding environment. This range of habitats provides a good opportunity for the public to enjoy wildlife, within a largely urban environment.
