Tolworth Court Farm Fields, Nature reserve in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom.
Tolworth Court Farm Fields is a nature reserve covering about 43 hectares of protected meadows in southwest London with diverse plant life. The northern sections are particularly wet and support specialized plant species such as marsh foxtail and creeping bent.
The name of the area goes back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was mentioned as Taleorde and shows its connection to this ancient survey. The property preserves medieval field patterns and old hedgerows that developed long before the 18th-century land enclosures.
This nature reserve serves as a place where visitors can observe wildlife and plants in their natural setting, providing a direct connection to the local environment. Many people come here to escape the city and experience the quiet of the open fields.
Access is from Kingston Road near Jubilee Way, where visitors can walk through the grassland and watch various birds. The ground is open and relatively flat, making it easy for most people to walk through.
The site is home to a range of animals adapted to wet habitats, including wood mice, field voles, and roe deer that live in the open space. These animal species are often hard to spot, but their presence indicates the health of the reserve.
