Felsham's roadside nature reserve

I have featured this tiny remnant of flower-rich verge on the WALKER'S GUIDE TO FELSHAM but I have not mentioned the tall hedge and hedgerow trees that provide a protective background to this wildflower sanctuary.

The familiar hedgerow plants - hazel, maple, hawthorn, elder - can all be seen, while ash predominates among the hedgerow trees that line the southern border.  The most interesting tree, though not particularly imposing, is a fine specimen of large-leaved lime.



List of plant specimens in the hedge on this site:

  • Ash
  • Blackberry
  • Blackthorn
  • Dog rose
  • Dogwood
  • Hawthorn
  • Hazel
  • Maple
  • Traveller's Joy
