Grazing marsh and ditches in a former floodplain important for birds and plants.
nearest town: Pulborough
highlights: Winter wildfowl during floods, including Bewick’s swans. Spectacular and rare wetland plants and insects, especially dragonflies.
access: In order to avoid disturbance to birds in this very open landscape, access is restricted to the Wey South Path, which runs through the middle of the Brooks directly from Hog Lane in the village of Amberley – please park thoughtfully. Many of the ditches and all of the landscape can be admired from the path, that has a few stiles along its length and gets very boggy in places.
size: 82 hectare
