About Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve

Gait Barrows NNR is a rich mosaic of limestone habitats including unique limestone pavement, yew woodland, fen and reedbed. The reserve contains the most notable pavement flora in Britain, and is important for its rich invertebrate communities. Around 800 species of moth have been recorded on the reserve, including the rare silky wainscot. The site also supports dragonfly and damselfly, and butterflies such as the Duke of Burgundy, high brown and pearl-bordered fritillary. Wood ant is common at the site and the rare narrow-mouthed whorl snail is also found here.
