CS Lewis Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Risinghurst, Oxford, England.
The reserve spans 3 hectares of woodland surrounding a large pond formed from a Victorian clay pit, featuring numerous aquatic plants and wildlife species.
The land belonged to author CS Lewis before becoming a protected nature reserve in 1969, when local residents initiated environmental conservation efforts.
Students and researchers regularly visit the reserve to study local ecosystems and conduct field observations of native plant and animal species.
Visitors can access the reserve through Lewis Close, with street parking available nearby and walking trails throughout the protected area.
The pond serves as a breeding ground for multiple amphibian species, including toads that return each spring for their spawning season.
