Broadmoor Common Local Nature Reserve has 35.65 acres of rich grassland in Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The species rich grassland and woodland is managed for nature conservation in association with the local commoners.
Broadmoor Common represents a fine example of a flower-rich ancient grassland. This type of little disturbed habitat is not only increasingly rare, but also an attractive and interesting place to observe some scarcer flora and fauna.
Broadmoor also supports areas of woodland, scrub and ponds, and it is this patchwork of habitat that makes this site valuable; not only for wildflowers, but an interesting range of birds, butterflies and amphibians.
Broadmoor Common lies next door to Haugh Woods, one of the finest butterfly sites in the UK.
This type of habitat although centuries old, is semi-man made and maintained by sensitive grazing and cutting of grass, scrub and trees. These practices continue today and remain essential to the good management of the site.
