Flitton Moor

Overview

Green flag awardThis site has received the prestigious Green Flag Community Award this year. The Green Flag Awards recognise well managed, high quality green spaces. Any green space is eligible to win this award, providing visitors can enter free of charge.

This wonderful 5.4 hectare nature reserve is a patchwork of grassland, moorland and woodland. Formerly drained for agriculture, we acquired the site in 1987 and began restoration. Ponds were dug, grasslands reseeded and shelter belts and osier beds replanted.  Much of the management is now undertaken by the volunteer group Friends of Flitton Moor.
