Why it's Wildland
4.8A small urban nature reserve with a broader mix of habitats than its name alone suggests: an orchard, wetland, boggy areas and scrubland are described at this pocket of north London green space.
Woodcroft Wildspace earns its place for bringing several nature-rich habitats together in an urban setting. The orchard, wetland, boggy ground and scrub offer a more varied visit than a simple patch of woodland, though current access arrangements and what visitors can explore need checking first.
