Claybrookes Marsh SSSI

claybrookes_marsh

CLAYBROOKES MARSH SSSI, Coventry. Adjacent to the A46 Coventry Eastern Bypass on the eastern edge of the city. Entrance off Grange Avenue at SP 380769. 4.1ha (10.1 acres). Leased from Coventry City Council and designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Open access. Postcode CV3 2ED.

 

This nature reserve, once known as Herald Way Marsh, is one of the most important areas for rare invertebrates in the county. Originally it would have been grassland and a natural marsh, but for much of the twentieth century it formed the railhead for Binley Colliery. As a result a wide range of habitats have developed from the relicts of the original marsh to bare ground and dry grassland. Parking off Grange Avenue.
