Ashlawn Cutting is the name given by English Nature to this nature reserve fashioned out of the former route of the Great Central railway through Rugby. This stretch, just to the south of the old Central station, is very wet, providing a habitat for a variety of species. Clearly some recent felling has been taking place. It is hard to remember in this slightly surreal location that this is in fact close to the centre of Rugby.
