Highcliffe: Nea Meadows nature reserve

This small nature reserve was part of the estate of Nea House, which was demolished in the 1940s, since when this area has been developed with hundreds of bungalows. The remaining land was purchased by Christchurch Borough Council in 1960 as a park, and it was formally recognised as a local nature reserve in 2005. This lake is the centrepiece.
