Trinity Hill Nature Reserve
Highlight • Natural
The heathland provides a crucial habitat for many species of moth, including true lovers knot, peppered moth and the drinker. In warmer, sunnier weather you might also spot lizards sunbathing or dashing between the heather and grass. In the late summer, keep your eyes peeled for linnets, which although in national decline, are thriving on Trinity Hill.
Trinity Hill nature reserve was awarded Dark Skies Discovery Site status in 2015, which means it's perfect for stargazing without too much light pollution.
