All yearAbout the reserve
The Slad Valley is a magical place, made extra special for so many of us through Laurie Lee’s classic, Cider with Rosie. Thanks to the enduring appeal of his work, Laurie Lee draws visitors from all over the world. The nature reserve was opened by Jessy and Kathy Lee on the 26th June 2013, a year ahead of Laurie Lee’s centenary celebrations. Laurie Lee Wood is the fourth nature reserve of the Trust's in the Slad Valley and can be linked to the circular walk, the Laurie Lee Wildlife Way (a leaflet is available from our shop here). We are looking forward to discovering what wildlife is in the new Laurie Lee Wood.
