Beautiful views and lots of wildlife can be seen in this idyll tucked away above Barton. The diversity of this small nature reserve is quite staggering. Boasting ancient broadleaved woodland, limestone grasslands, reedbed, fen, a stream and rare Oxfordshire heathland, the reserve supports over 400 plant species. The site is also teeming with birds and insect life; butterflies include the purple hairstreak, brown hairstreak, common blue and marbled white. The flowers peak in summer with a display of knapweed, small scabious, yellow rattle, common rock-rose, wild basil and marjoram.
