Description:

Woodland walks by Monk’s Brook passing through flower rich wet meadows and woodland.

Flexford Reserve is a popular green haven amid the surrounding urban development. In Upper Flexford Monk’s Brook runs through the woodland supporting a good variety of birds and plants. Downstream the wet meadow of Lower Flexford is a nationally scarce habitat, which is fed from Monks Brook. The field is a blaze of colour in spring
and summer with many flowering plants, grazed by cattle.
