Nature Reserves

The Somerset Wildlife Trust manages a large number of nature reserves throughout the county, all a short walk or drive from Applebarn Holidays. Each season brings new reasons to visit each nature reserve and the different locations are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna.

Many of the nature reserves are served by nearby parking and some are very large and attract visitors from all over the world. The RSPB reserves are also very popular with many people travelling into the area to watch migrations throughout the year.

Westhay Moor is to the west of Glastonbury and is an excellent place to watch the Starling Murmeration. There are several walks in the area and a chance to see some amazing wildlife and wildflowers.

Withial Combe is a short distance from Applebarn and comprises a ravine and some woodland with open grassland and Sharpham Moor on the other side of Glastonbury is a wetland expanse full of wildlife.

Somerset’s Nature Reserves attract tourists all year round and it’s important to take note of the advice when accessing these wild spaces.
