It is home to a diverse range of bird species, such as the great spotted woodpecker, tawny owl, and nuthatch, providing birdwatchers with ample opportunities to spot these feathered creatures in their natural habitat.

View towards Fownhope village A postie is having a quiet skive here hidden from the road and village by the sports centre. When I say quiet skive I mean carefully planning out his itinerary, re-prioritising his morning, taking a well earned allocated break, responding to customer needs, communicating with colleagues on a matter of urgency etc.
