Harridge Wood | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Sadly this woodland is badly affected by ash die back. This means that the ash trees are not in good health, they and their limbs are prone to failing and falling. We do not recommend visiting this nature reserve at the current time.

Edford Wood | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Sadly this broadleaved woodland is badly affected by ash die back. This means that the ash trees are not in good health, they and their limbs are prone to failing and falling. We do not recommend visiting this reserve at the current time. The seasonal footpath, normally open in spring, will remain closed this year.

Cockles Fields | Somerset Wildlife Trust
The steeply sloping higher ground to the west supports dry grassland species whereas the low damp east side supports a range of waterside plants. Also look out for evidence of Medieval and Roman opencast mining activities which were carried out here.

King's Castle Wood | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Just a mile south-east of the centre of Wells, this is an ancient semi-natural woodland, made up primarily of ash, hazel and field maple, with planted oak and a fine stand of small-leaved lime. The main woodland is on a flat-topped promontory of the outlying Mendip Hills where an Iron Age fort once stood.

Withial Combe | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Withial Combe is mainly comprised of a remote, steep-sided ancient wooded ravine together with two small meadows great for woodland flowers and birds.

Cooks Field | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Cooks Field is a flower rich limestone grassland on steep slopes and traditional hay meadows on the higher and flatter ground. It is an important site for grassland butterflies.

Lynchcombe | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Lynchcombe is a flower rich grassland in a dramatic setting high up on the Mendip escarpment with panoramic views across the Somerset Levels.

Tor Hole Fields | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Tor Hole Fields reserve is made up of seven fields which are traditionally managed hay meadows rich in wildflowers and meadow butterflies.

Perry Mead | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Perry Mead is a wonderful flower-rich neutral grassland meadow on the north side of Perry Hill stretching down to the meandering River Cary near Perrys Bridge. The northern and wetter parts of the reserve close to the river are unimproved water meadows with species-rich neutral grassland flora. Mature deciduous hedgerows surround the fields and a short length of wet ditch bisects the northern field and discharges into the River Cary.

Hollow Marsh Meadow | Somerset Wildlife Trust
This hay meadow nature reserve offers glorious displays of wild flowers including orchids from spring to mid summer and is a great reminder of how wildlife rich our countryside can be if given a chance. On a warm day it really does throng with life and can be actually quite noisy with the sound of buzzing insects.

White Field | Somerset Wildlife Trust
White Field is a small area of unimproved, yet important, species-rich hay meadow together with a small copse. It is a reserve which remains in an area that has largely seen a decline in wildlife due to agricultural intensification.
