With areas of coppiced woodland, heathland, bogs and mires Kilwood and the adjacent East Creech Heath is a surprisingly diverse area and offers similar opportunities to the more well known sites but in a far smaller area. In late July a wide range of insects can be found including several types of Dragonflies and Butterflies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common Lizards and Sand Lizards can also be found however on a hot summer day they’re extremely wary. At dusk plenty of Deer especially Sika and Roe and the occasional Nightjar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
