Welcome to Greylake Fosse

Greylake Fosse is a nature reserve located in the heart of Somerset, England. The reserve is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including rare bird species such as the bittern and the marsh harrier. The reserve is also home to a variety of plant species, including the rare marsh orchid. Visitors to the reserve can enjoy a range of activities, including birdwatching, walking, and cycling. The reserve is a popular destination for nature lovers and is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The history of Greylake Fosse dates back to the 13th century when it was used as a drainage system to reclaim land for farming. The area was later used for peat extraction, which led to the formation of the peat pits that can still be seen today. The reserve was established in 1993 to protect the unique habitat and wildlife of the area. Today, the reserve is managed by the Somerset Wildlife Trust, which works to maintain the delicate balance of the ecosystem and protect the rare species that call it home.

Greylake Fosse is a unique and important part of Somerset's natural heritage. The reserve provides a vital habitat for a range of rare and endangered species, and is an important site for scientific research and conservation. The reserve is also a popular destination for visitors, who come to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the natural surroundings. Whether you are a nature lover, a birdwatcher, or simply looking for a peaceful place to escape the stresses of everyday life, Greylake Fosse is a must-visit destination in Somerset.
