Pools, river meadows and the River Avon to explore
- Pete Hackett
Bredon's Hardwick

These former gravel workings bordering the River Avon offer good birdwatching throughout the year. Lying on a floodplain, during the winter months the fields can become inundated, providing a vast area for, in particular, dabbling ducks and geese to feed.

Part of the area is now a thriving water park, but there is still plenty of potential in the surrounding area for a few hours of exploring. Good numbers of Mallard, Shoveler, Gadwall and Wigeon are joined by occasional White-fronted Geese, although these have become scarcer in recent years.
