Spennells Valley

Spennells Valley is a local nature reserve in south-east Kidderminster, in Worcestershire, England.

Description

It was declared a local nature reserve in 1995, and is owned and managed by Wyre Forest District Council.
The reserve, area, is situated along the banks of Hoo Brook. It is a link between Wilden Marsh to the south-west and the upper Hoo Brook pools to the north-east.
There is dry woodland, damp woodland and marshland. In the damp woodland is alder, willow and black poplar. There is a waymarked boardwalk trail through the reserve.
The reserve is being extended to include part of a neighbouring sports field. It involves the creation of new ponds; it is expected that the project, which is run in conjunction with the Environment Agency, will increase the biodiversity of the area of Hoo Brook.
