| What to see: |
The amount of flora, fungi and fauna provides visitors to this modest site with a surprisingly rich feast of nature.
Over thirty species have no difficulty in finding homes on the rewerve, including Blackbirds, Woodpeckers, Goldcrests and Jackdaws, with Buzzards often spotted soaring above. The song of the Blackcap is characteristic of Bincombe on a late spring morning.
