Description

Bree Hill is a steep hill with mixed woodland and some scrubby areas at the top. This makes for an interesting few hours' exploration using a mixture of wide walking paths and steeper mountain biking tracks. Among the birds you can see here are Great Spotted Woodpecker, Common Raven, Spotted Flycatcher, Long-eared Owl, Sparrowhawk, Goldcrest, Eurasian Bullfinch, Common Crossbill, and Peregrine Falcon.

Along the hedgerows on the approach to the site, look out for Yellowhammer .
