Photo's of the Reserve itself
I put these here so as to give a better idea of the natural landscape/setting of the reserve. |

The drive through the neighbouring park where it borders the reserve in autumn.
With it's many mature trees, autumn is a beautiful season here.

Winding path through the trees.
Most of the reserve is crisscrossed by dry paths, however there are steps and it can be a little strenuous going in places. |

Bluebells make a spectacular spring display
Eastwood is recognised as one of the foremost sites for bluebells in Cheshire. Bluebells are becoming increasingly threatened in a lot of their wild habitats. |
Acre's Brook
The brook runs through the legnth of the reserve, ending in the bottom pool. It provides habitat for a wide variety of wildlife from Kingfishers to Sticklebacks. |

Ransoms
Plants who love water and damp soils abound, such as these Ransoms (a form of wild garlic). |
Bluebells
We are rightly proud of our bluebell displays and hold a Bluebell day annually (usually mid May) check the website 'Coming Events' or local press if in Tameside. |
