3. Deer’s Leep Wood Nature Reserve, Smethwick
The nature reserve is a mix of informal woodland, pond, boundary brook and meadow areas which have been formally designated as a Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation (SLINC). With spring here, you can see several kinds of flowers like daisies, and more. Located on the boundary between the Edgbaston, Harborne and Soho Wards - it’s a great spot for a small break in the urban area.
