This nature reserve was created from a large arable field in 2009, and it is being regenerated with chalk grassland species, partly by colonisation from a steep bank which escaped ploughing and partly by seed spreading. An area of scrub provides a habitat for birds.[1]
There is access to the site from Nashenden Farm Lane. Parking is strictly limited to the roadside BEFORE you turn right into the hamlet of Nashenden Farm. At this point the road is privately owned.
