Highnam Woods

RSPB

Highnam Woods is a picturesque nature reserve in Gloucestershire, featuring a remnant of ancient woodland that is part of the Severn Vale. Managed by the RSPB, it aims to enhance biodiversity by promoting native flora and fauna while removing non-native species. Visitors can enjoy a two-kilometre nature trail that winds through the reserve, showcasing its rich habitats, including bluebell woods and areas supporting rare plants like the Tintern Spurge. Wildlife enthusiasts can look forward to spotting a variety of birds, particularly in spring when nightingales, marsh tits, and song thrushes are active. March is the best month for birdwatching, with notable sightings of great spotted woodpeckers and great tits peaking around midnight. As summer approaches, keep an eye out for southern hawkers and other insects, making the reserve a vibrant spot for nature lovers throughout the seasons.
