Site description
A small conservation site covering 0.2 hectares, located at the end of Arundel Close. It is a mixture of grass, scrub and trees of varying ages. In 2013 a community grant enabled the area to be planted as a small community orchard. The area is managed by LBRuT for biodiversity, and looked after by the Friends of Arundel Close Wildlife Site
