RSPB COOMBES VALLEY
WHERE Leek, Staffordshire, ST13 7EU
WARDEN Paul Bennett WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT
Visit RSPB Coombes Valley to experience spectacular views from our viewpoints across a beautiful frosty wooded landscape.
WHAT YOU CAN SEE
March is an excellent time of year to spot large flocks of fieldfares and redwings, and if you’re lucky you may hear a lesser spotted woodpecker. The reserve is also home to willow tits that regularly visit our feeding stations – the Red Listed species is declining fast in the UK.
TOP WILDLIFE SPOT
In 2016 we opened a new walkway on the reserve. It’s a fantastic feeling being whisked up into the canopy on a bouncy rope bridge – my children love it!
JOIN ITS EVENT
Join us on 5 March for a guided walk in nearby Churnet Valley to see Bellpit Meadows. An adult ticket costs £5, child £2.50.
HOW TO VOLUNTEER
We rely on help from our fantastic volunteers to run events and our visitor centre. People can also get involved in habitat management on the reserve. Find out more at http://bit.ly/2hM2Vtb
