Valley Park Woodlands Local Nature Reserve, Chandlers Ford

Grid reference: SU420203
Comprising ancient woodland with a mixture of woodland rides, open glades, ponds and rough grassland, the woodlands have been managed by Test Valley Borough Council since 1998. Rich in wildlife as well as archaeology the woodland is home to a variety of species including pipistrelle bats, roe deer and a host of insect and plant life. The site is thought to be derived from the historic Baddesley common complex and has close characteristics with the New Forest. The site boasts the remnants of an Iron Age enclose and associated features.
