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.
