SITE DETAILS

Fuller information:

Castle Hill Local Nature Reserve is managed by Lower Mole Countryside Management Project with assistance from Lower Mole Countryside Trust, a charity set up to support the provision of a high quality countryside management service for the benefit of landscape, wildlife and people. Recent improvements have been made to the Castle Hill site, its access and the earthworks, funded by the Trust. Coppicing, installation of an information board and path surfacing are planned through an agreement with English Heritage. In June 2011 three welcome signs were installed at the three main access points to the site.
