Bonesgate Open Space

Bonesgate Open Space is a nature reserve in Chessington with grassland and wooded areas running along the Bonesgate Stream. The space is crossed by paths that wind through different landscape types and connect various habitats for wildlife.

The area received formal designation as a Local Nature Reserve in 1994. This protected status connected several existing green spaces into a unified conservation zone.

Local organizations conduct educational programs at the reserve to teach residents about wildlife conservation and environmental protection.

Access is available from several entry points around the reserve's edges, making it easy to explore different areas. Paths vary in condition across the site, so wearing sturdy footwear is wise for a comfortable visit.

The reserve shelters rare plant species like the goldilocks buttercup, which is not common across the region. This botanical importance makes the place a key protection zone for specialized wildlife species.
