Our verdict
A modest, quiet local reserve — good for a short walk rather than a special trip, and worth combining with a wider circuit of the surrounding farmland footpaths.
A Wiltshire Wildlife Trust reserve on the northern fringe of the Marlborough Downs area near Wootton Bassett, combining broadleaved woodland with adjoining farmland known locally as The Clouts.
Wiltshire Wildlife Trust reserve — free to explore on foot; many are dog-free to protect wildlife.
