Beechfield Nature Area

Beechfield Nature Area is situated along Middlewick Lane, Corsham. The Nature Area was formerly part of the grounds of Beechfield House. The land was transferred to the Council’s ownership in 2002. The Council’s aim is to improve the amenity, recreational and nature conservation value of Beechfield Nature Area, widening its appeal to the people of Corsham, while retaining its original character.

The site is approximately 2 hectares in size and is within a designated Conservation Area. Increased interest in the Nature Area is being achieved by improvements to the paths, provision of an interpretation board and seating.

Important features include: Open grassland area, woodland, dry stone walls, mature trees.

The central area is only mown twice a year to encourage the growth of native plant life. Footpaths are cut more regularly for easy access.

An interesting range of plants, trees and animals can be seen around the site.
