Despite being so close to urban Ashford, surrounded by
roads and houses, Ashford Warren is a surprisingly wild place. The woodlands,
with their coppice and old oaks, screen the site from man-made intrusions,
making it a green haven for the community. The Warren is also important
for wildlife. The acid grasslands are unimproved, and contain plants such
as sheep's sorrel and bird's foot. They are mown to maintain their value
and keep birch scrub at bay. The ponds are home to amphibians,
aquatic insects and the uncommon water violet. A wide variety of birds
also inhabit the site.
