This
is an area of rough grassland along the eastern
side of the Lyme Brook near Trent Vale. The area is divided by a
ditch with poplars planted along the north bank.
The area south of the ditch is dominated by
rosebay willowherb (Chamerion angustifolium)
and nettles. Bridgett's Pool, which lies to the
southeast of the brook, has some emergent
vegetation and water voles, a nationally rare
species, have been reported here. The area to
the north of the ditch is dominated by grasses
and scrub.
