The snow and frost on the trees stand out against a cloudless blue sky, taken on a beautifully sunny day in January.

The deformities in the base of this Oak tree have created some lovely patterns.

This corner has been planted with mixed broadleaved trees to create a new block of woodland.

This is the gate in the North-West corner of the park. It is also the start of the bridleway that follows the Northern and Eastern boundaries of Brereton Heath Country Park, finally emerging on the South-Eastern corner ([[1703318]]).

This small patch of woodland is just across Davenport Lane from Brereton Heath Country Park. From the name given it one assumes it was once the area for growing Alder saplings for planting on other parts of the former Brereton Heath estate.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A dilemma that most managers of Local Nature Reserves that are also Country Parks face: how much grass do you leave for wildlife without getting complaints of "scruffiness" from the visitors who come for a nice walk, and how much do you cut without getting shouted at by conservationists? The answer is a compromise, cut so much but leave a "buffer zone". This will allow wildflowers, invertebrates and small mammals to have a sanctuary, and still leave enough amenity grass for those who are concerned about the aesthetics.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Brereton Heath Lake is very deep, having been a sand quarry in the past, here the wardens have added an extra notice warning people off the ice.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Between the bridle path and the boundary fence of Brereton Heath Country Park is a lovely strip of mixed broadleaved trees.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This is where the Brimstone Trail comes back to the car-park and Visitor Centre, which is hidden behind the trees in the centre of the picture. An interesting point- the seat visible on the right will be no more than 100 metres from the previous one, allowing ease of access to the less able-bodied people wishing to walk around the lake.
