Mowbray Fields Nature Reserve

Mowbray Fields

Mowbray Fields is a local nature reserve situated immediately south of Didcot and north-west of East Hagbourne. The reserve includes a small section of stream, a newly created wildflower meadow, part of a railway embankment and a fill pond.

The council purchased the site in the 1980s and in 2000 it was declared as a Local Nature Reserve.

South Oxfordshire District Council and the Northmoor Trust jointly manage the site. We have included an interpretation board with information about the reserve. Please take notice of the guidance on this board. If you have any questions about the site then contact the site warden on 01865 409410 or alternativeley visit the Northmoor Trust Local Sites and Nature Reserves information pages.
