The Nature Reserve is a secluded piece of countryside, a wildlife haven, in Sneyd Park, Stoke Bishop , Bristol, within three miles of the city centre.
Most of the land in the reserve was originally deer park, which has never been ploughed or sprayed with herbicides. It contains older types of grasses and many wild flowers, making it particularly valuable for wildlife . There are also a number of different habitats close together:  hay meadows, woodland, scrubland edge and a lake.
The land is public open space, owned by Bristol City Council.
