Aldermoors Local Nature Reserve - LNR - 8 hectares

The name 'Aldermoors' derives from the alder trees that predominately populate this ancient woodland, situated within a shallow valley in Woodley.

Trees and flowers

The woodland also comprises ash, hawthorn and willow trees. Aldermoors is a good example of the woodland management technique of coppicing, which has encouraged the growth of ground flora. During springtime, the woodland floor bursts out with wildflowers including bluebells, marsh marigolds, primroses and wood anemones.

The site links up with Ashenbury Park, restored from an old rubbish tip and with a pedestrian route to the Thames and it's section of the National Trail Network.

Facilities and Site Information

Dogs are welcome and there are dog waste bins close to the site. Please respect others by keeping your dog under control and preventing them from fouling public areas.

Parking

Car parking is available at Ashenbury Park, just off Tippings Lane, Woodley.
