Doffcocker Delph

The reserve is based around two lodges which originally served a nearby bleachworks. Once a nationally important site for wintering wildfowl, it was saved from development by local residents which necessitated the need for repair works to the dam and temporary drainage of the lodges. Whilst not attaining its previous status, recovery has provided a Grade B Site of Biological Importance with reedbeds, marsh/fen, Willow scrub, young native woodland and wildflower meadows.
