Tanglewood is a place shared equally by humans and wildlife. Brambles, nettles and thistles are not looked on as weeds, but essential habitat and food source for birds, animals and insects.

The grass areas, where mowed, is left at a 4 inch height to provide cover and protection for insects. In the spring the grass is home to an abundance of baby frogs and toads. The four ponds and bog area also provides a haven for wildfowl, aquatic insects and amphibians.

Tanglewood is also a place which changes throughout the seasons, so do make a note to come and visit again.
Our four ponds have attracted many birds such as Mallards, Canadian Geese, Moorhens, Coots, Kingfisher, Heron, and Swallows and Martins who enjoy swooping across the ponds for a drink. Our most recent sighting is of an Egret.

In terms of water life, insects and amphibians, Dragonflies, Damselflies, Frogs, Toads, Newts and Lizards.

Within the woodlands Jays, Buzzards, Rooks, Snipe, Woodpecker and Owls have been observed including all the usual wild birds. There is evidence of badger sets, rabbits and squirrels.
