Mason's Bank Nature Reserve


Mason’s Bank Nature Reserve is another ecological jewel situated in close proximity to our beaver rewilding project. Famed for its steep limestone grassland slopes, native woodland, and rich array of spring wildflowers, it supports thriving populations of butterflies and rare fungi.

The combination of Mason’s Bank, neighboring nature reserves, and our organic beaver site forms a rich tapestry of protected habitats, making the upper Clun Valley one of the premier wildlife viewing destinations in the West Midlands.

Reserve Highlights:

  • Habitat for rare butterfly species including the Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary
  • Quiet footpaths ideal for daytime natural history walks before evening hide visits
  • Integral component of the Clun Valley ecological restoration network
