Woodridge Nature Reserve

[1] It was designed as a nature trail for local primary schools,[2] but is now very neglected.

It lies predominantly on London clay, and comprises oak woodland and grassland.

It was originally farmed as pasture, and is a haven for wildlife such as woodland birds, insects and amphibians.

[3] The reserve is close to Folly Brook in Folly Brook Valley, a large area of woods and grassland which is public open space between Woodside Park and Totteridge.

Access is by a kissing gate in a pasture area close to the Michleham Down entrance to the Valley.
