Where two arms of the River Wandle meet, an enticing nature reserve provides a fascinating variety of wildlife habitats in South London.
A beautifully scented plant, the arching stems and bell-shaped flowers of Lily-of-the-valley can be seen in many woodlands. Despite its delicate appearance, this plant is highly toxic.
A fantastic variety of habitats including woodland, reedbed, ditches, ponds and river can be found on a site formerly used for gunpowder production in Whitton.
