Leaf bench
Leaf bench
This wonderfully carved bench is one of several throughout Coombes Valley Reserve depicting the wildlife that can be seen from that point. Look closely at this one and you can see a caterpillar at the far end and an acorn tucked behind the oak leaves. See also SK0053 : Riverside bench and SK0052 : Pond bench.

Coombes Valley Nature Reserve is owned and managed by the RSPB. Located in a glacial valley running down from the moorlands to the Churnet valley, it is a fantastic mix of habitats- broadleafed and conifer woodlands, meadows and pastures, streams and a fair sized brook, ponds and scrubland. It is home to a very wide variety of birds, flowers and invertebrates. A lot of the original woodland was felled in the 1920's and 1930's so, apart from fragments of mature woodland that have survived, most of the trees are semi-mature or newly planted.
