Aston Springs Farm

Managed by Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust thanks to support from members and volunteers, Woodhouse Washlands nature reserve comprises 53 hectares of grassland, scrub and floodplain grazing marsh. The Washlands’ mosaic of wet and dry grasslands, swamp, wet ditches, ponds and scrub are typical of the landscape which once fringed the River Rother as it passed through its floodplain. During the summer, swallows, swifts and martins can be seen feeding over the area, providing spectacular displays. The nature reserve is managed by a mixture of cattle grazing and periodic maintenance of the ditches, ponds and hedges. Metal sculptures have been installed along the route to represent the industrial history, plants and animals of the area.
