Stockwood Open Space

Stockwood Open Space is an expanse of old farmland providing a blend of old meadows, thick hedges and woodlands on lime-rich clay soils. It is owned by Bristol City Council and managed as a nature reserve in partnership with the Avon Wildlife Trust. Cowslip, Dyer's greenweed, Common spotted orchids and bird's-foot trefoil are amongst the flowers to be found, and numerous butterflies include Meadow Brown, Marbled White and Large Skipper. The wood known as Ilsyngrove is very old and the home of bluebell, yellow archangel and the rare Bath asparagus. Birds including Whitethroats, Kestrels and Sparrowhawks are often seen. Two farm ponds are homes for frogs, toads and newts.
