Crabtree Plantation

The Crabtree Plantation is a nature reserve just minutes from Basingstoke town centre, with beautiful woods and open fields for fantastic views, great for walking and cycling.

The woodlands are a tresure trove for wildlife including birds and butterflies, perfect for young nature lovers. They're great for blackberry picking in the late summer too.

The reserve follows on to the Black Dam Ponds, a haven for wildlife with accessible pathways for a short walk around, there's also a play area.
