Kingswood Glen has ancient woodland, origins as an Iron Age hill-fort, and Roman connections. The ponds are home to crested newts, mallards, and coots - and the largest was desilted in 2013, resulting in a much improved wildlife habitat. The Glen is now listed as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation. Click here for further information.
