Coombes Valley

RSPB

Coombes Valley RSPB reserve, located near Leek in Staffordshire, is a stunning woodland area characterized by towering oaks and vibrant grasslands. This nature reserve is renowned for its breeding woodland birds and is part of the UK's Biodiversity Action Plan, hosting the nationally scarce argent and sable moth. The reserve is a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts and families seeking outdoor activities. Spring and early summer are ideal times to visit, with Pied Flycatchers and Redstarts arriving to breed. Notable sightings include Willow Tits in April and Nuthatches in September. For the best experience, plan visits around peak activity times, such as early morning around 1:00 AM for various species, including Meadow Browns in July and winter visitors like Redwings and Fieldfares.
