About Local Nature Reserves
Part of the magic of these nature reserves is their rich history interwoven with nature’s reclamation. Ham Wall, for instance, was once used to extract peat—a key industry in Somerset through the centuries. It wasn’t until the mid-1990s that the land was restored through careful management by conservationists to create the diverse ecosystems that thrive today.
Westhay Moor, another gem in Somerset’s crown, bears traces of the ancient wetlands that once stretched across the county, providing a glimpse into the past when the area was characterised by extensive marshlands.
What can I expect to see?
Othery’s nearby nature reserves offer an array of activities catering to every kind of nature enthusiast. At Ham Wall, experience the awe of spotting bitterns, marsh harriers, and otters through their network of accessible walking paths and viewing points. Alternatively, venture to the Westhay Moor National Nature Reserve, where raised bogs and traditional woodlands set a serene stage for leisurely walks or a quiet reflection by the placid waters.
For families, these reserves provide not only educational opportunities that encompass wildlife spotting and understanding habitat conservation but also adventure playgrounds and picnic spots to keep the little ones entertained.
