Saltwells Local Nature Reserve
'Lady Dudley planted Saltwells Wood in the eighteenth century to hide the scars of coal mining. The descendants of the Oak and Beech still survive and are home to many species of woodland bird, such as Treecreeper, Jay and Great Spotted Woodpecker. Wild Garlic and Anemones are found in the wood together with carpets of Bluebells.'
'Saltwells Nature Reserve is one of the largest urban nature reserves in the UK. It is home to ancient bluebell woods, dragonfly filled wetlands and orchid covered grasslands making it well worth exploring. However at about 100ha (250 acres) and two and a half miles long where do you start? We suggest you first try out one of our three self guided trails. These are marked out along their route with posts and signs. The Map ... shows you these routes and has some of our other main paths, for when you want to strike off and explore the rest of the Nature Reserve.'
