From mystical ancient woodlands and vibrant, colourful meadows to quiet churchyards and bustling flower-rich roadsides; and, from field-bordering hedgerows to tiny copses, England enjoys special, often unnoticed wild places where nature thrives.
These “secret spaces”, known as Local Wildlife Sites, are truly exceptional areas of land with significant wildlife value. They are frequently a legacy of the goodwill and care of their landowners
and managers and of decades of hard graft by conservationists.
