Pevensey Road Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Hanworth, London Borough of Hounslow, England.
Pevensey Road Nature Reserve is a natural area with meadows, woodlands, and wetlands that surrounds a crematorium on three sides. The site has multiple entry points along Pevensey Road and Hounslow Road, and also contains a separate section cut off from the main area by thick vegetation.
The reserve was recognized as part of the Crane Corridor, a network of natural areas with special conservation status. This designation reflects the site's importance for protecting wildlife and plants in the region.
Local volunteers organize regular sessions where residents take part in caring for the land and keeping it in good condition. The work shows how the reserve is woven into the everyday life of the surrounding community.
The reserve is easy to reach with multiple pathways and a wooden bridge connecting to nearby parks. You should be prepared for damp conditions, especially in the wetland areas and after rainfall.
The site supports multiple habitats that attract a range of bird species and insects, making it a haven for watchers and nature enthusiasts. This diversity is unusual for such a small urban area.
