Flora and Fauna
The park is set in a woodland of mature oaks and yews, spindle berry, buck thorn and coppiced hazel. There is an abundance of wild flowers, including several species of orchid, wild roses and carpets of English bluebells and lily of the valley in the spring.
The numerous red-legged partridge and pheasant will feed from the hand and many rarer birds have been seen here, including, hawfinches, marsh and hen harriers, osprey, barn owls, woodcock and jacksnipe.
Fallow deer roam across the park, and red and roe deer are in the surrounding wood, together with foxes, squirrels, rabbits and many amphibians.
The park has been carefully developed over the last thirty five years to incorporate the natural features of limestone pavements. With ongoing careful conservation of the flora and fauna, the management seeks to preserve and help develop appreciation of the natural beauty of the park.
As well as the wild life on the Park bird watchers will love the RSPB's Leighton Moss bird sanctuary. Bittern, bearded tit, avocet and marsh harriers are resident or regular visitors here.
