Croxley Common Moor - Local Nature Reserve (LNR) and designated Site of Special Scientific Interest

Historic grassland depending on the River Gade, offering volunteering opportunities and excellent scenery to be soaked up on a leisurely walk.

Croxley Common Moor covers 41.9 hectares and has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest as well as a Local Nature Reserve because of its special plantlife and community value. The moor has over 130 different types of plants in addition to numerous ant hills made by yellow meadow ants which form a series of mounds across the Local Nature Reserve. These ants make a tasty meal for green woodpeckers which can often be heard 'yaffling' in the background.
