A small local nature reserve on a unredeveloped bomb site. It appears use as a play area is encouraged, and it may be that the selective grass erosion is advantageous to certain insects. The Small Blue butterfly is present here. The parasitic plant Ivy Broomrape is also here, unusual as it is more common in the South-west of England.
