Nore Barn Woods cover about 7 Acres of hawthorn and oak
woodland . Some parts have a dense canopy. Where canopy is less
dense many species of flowers exists, including bluebells. The
Woods are in two areas North and South the latter being
accessible to the public. The northern
area is of a different character and is a typical
example of a “wet woodland”.
A small reed bed contains a saline lagoon Separates the two
areas. This lagoon was dug by local wildfowlers over 30 years
ago, and is filled from fresh groundwater and occasional sea
overtopping. The reed bed is home to reed warblers, ducks,
egrets and the occasional kingfisher. The adjacent stream has
been home to an overwintering Spotted Redshank for the last 14
years.
