Highwood Local Nature Reserve LNR - 15 hectares

Highwood is managed in partnership with the Friends of Highwood, an independent group of local residents.

Location

Situated in Woodley between Southlake and the University of Reading, Highwood used to form part of the grounds of Woodley Lodge.

Rare trees

The site contains exotic tree species, which were once part of an arboretum - a collection of trees - in the house grounds. These include giant redwoods and monkey puzzle.

It is a fine example of mixed lowland woodland with an attractive heathland area too. Highwood is near a housing area and it is popular with dog walkers. It also has lots of footpaths.

Access

You can get to Highwood from Kingfisher Drive, High Tree Drive and Southlake.
