Site Details
A Worcestershire Wildlife Trust (WWT) reserve of some 60 acres midway between Bromsgrove and Droitwich. Consists of two parts, the Moors Pool to the north of the River Salwarpe and the Flash Pools to the south. The Moors Pool is largest and deepest with a good margin of sedge and rush and is best for wildfowl. The Flash Pools result from subsidence following underground salt extraction and have a natural salinity. The expanse of mud created is attractive to waders. Non-members could expect to pay a £3 entrance fee (from 2010).
