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.

Babcary Meadows | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Visiting the species-rich hay meadows of Babcary next to the River Cary in summer is like stepping back in time when meadows like this were a common sight in our countryside.

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.

Holway Woods | Dorset Wildlife Trust
A mixture of mature woodland, offering superb views of South Somerset

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.

Green Down | Somerset Wildlife Trust
One of the best examples of limestone downland and scrub in Somerset. One of the jewels in the crown of this reserve is the Large Blue Butterfly, declared extinct in Britain in 1979, it has since been reintroduced as part of a long term conservation programme.

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.
