The Mill Field Local Nature Reserve
Once agricultural land, this site is now managed for wildlife by the Mill Field Conservation Group. For more information on the conservation group contact Keith Swan by emailing millfield.oldbasing@gmail.com or by phoning 07973 801669.
Various species of flora and fauna can be found on the site, including bee orchids, little egret, and roe deer. With its network of informal paths, the Mill Field Local Nature Reserve is a great place to watch wildlife throughout the year. There is also a skate ramp and children’s play area near the main entrance to the site.
