Waterford Heath, Nature reserve in Hertfordshire, England.
The reserve spans 35.2 hectares divided into north and south heaths, featuring grasslands, scrub areas, wood plantations, and semi-natural woodland sections.
Before becoming a nature reserve in the early 1990s, the land served as a sand and gravel quarry, undergoing transformation into a community nature park.
The north heath section displays the sculpture 'Changing Places' by Andrew McKeown, installed in 2000 as a permanent outdoor art installation.
Visitors can access the reserve through multiple entrances, with the main car park located on Vicarage Road and additional parking available on Sacombe Road.
The reserve provides habitat for grizzled skipper butterflies, which feed on wild strawberry plants growing throughout the protected area.
