Conservation work

  • we use cattle grazing for habitat management
  • ragwort and hawthorn control is carried out every year. We do this by pulling it up, chemically spraying or cutting
  • a ride through Henley Wood is cut back during the winter. Sapling trees are cut to prevent the woodland spreading into the Grassland
  • footpaths across the site are mowed during summer. This helps to keep people on footpaths and protect ground nesting birds

Parking

There is no car park at The Mount.
On street parking is available along Wodeland Avenue and surrounding roads (restrictions apply).
