The Lye Valley Nature Park is a secluded area situated east of the Churchill Hospital in Headington, Oxford and has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The site contains a range of habitats including spring-fed lowland fen, a variety of ponds, and wet woodland with small representations of lowland calcareous grassland, wood pasture and parkland. Lye Valley has one of the best examples of a calcareous valley fen, a nationally rare habitat. The plant and animal species of the Lye Valley fen are thought to have lived there since they colonised the spring areas after the retreat of the last ice age perhaps 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. |
