The reserve, which has an area of , is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is about half a mile of a section of railway line between Malvern and Upton-upon-Severn, part of the Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway. The line closed in 1952. The eastern part of the site, near the road bridge, is a cutting where soil can remain damp; further west is an embankment, providing a different habitat with well-drained soil. The line is colonised with grassland, scrub and young trees. The site is noted for butterflies: more than 30 species have been recorded, including white-letter hairstreak, small copper and holly blue. Links and biodiversity
The Trust believes that links between areas of countryside are beneficial for biodiversity; it notes that this reserve is one of several grasslands and one orchard in the area. References
