About North Newton Nature Reserve
The history of North Newton Nature Reserve is as rich and varied as the landscape itself. Originally managed as part of local agricultural land, the area was transformed into a nature reserve in the late 20th century as part of efforts to preserve Somerset’s natural habitats. This transformation aimed to protect the unique biodiversity and to create a sanctuary for wildlife displaced by urban expansion.
Over the years, diligent conservation work has restored and maintained the wetlands, meadows, and forests that define the reserve today. Visitors can now enjoy a living testament to sustainable conservation practices and experience the thriving ecosystem up close.
