An Inland Coast
WR magazine Worcestershire
|Autumn 2017
It may be hard to believe, but we do have a slice of the seaside right here in Worcestershire. The Flashes, the southern pools of the Christopher Cadbury Wetland Reserve at Upton Warren in Wychbold hold a rare habitat. The underlying salt deposit, the Droitwich halite, was formed around 200 million years ago and subsequent underground brine extraction caused subsidence and consequent flooding. As a result, the saline pools of The Flashes and the salt marsh were born. Wendy Carter, Worcestershire Wildlife Trust’s Communications Manager, tells us more

The salt marsh and saline pools attract an important mix of waterfowl and wading birds; it’s the significance of both the plants and birds that has resulted in the nature reserve’s designation as a Site of Special Scientific Importance.
