Description
A heavily wooded area just South of the village of Woodgreen and is on the Western edge of the New Forest. The area includes heathland, open grassland, scrubland and excellent tree cover. Before trees get into full leaf, visit during March to early April for the best chance to see Lesser Spotted Woodpecker in treetops. At other times Hawfinch, Eurasian Nightjar, Wood Lark, Tree Pipit and Dartford Warbler can all be expected.
From the carpark at Castle Hill (press STAR on map), walk down to a bend in the River Avon. Great Egret, Common Kingfisher, Cetti's Warbler, Grasshopper Warbler, Eurasian Hobby and Western Yellow Wagtail are often seen here, depending on season of course.
