Tips from the Community

David Howells
April 21, 2026, Lippets Grove Nature Reserve

Lippets Grove is a small nature reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) that lies on flat land between two large forested areas, namely Caswell Wood to the north and Passage Grove to the south. It is a beautiful area principally due to the variety of wildflowers growing in abundance here.

This route follows the Offa's Dyke Path through the trees high above the river to begin with and descends with it to the river near the abbey.
