About Prestop Park
The trees comprise a broadleaf and conifer mix, with commercial poplar and willow and alder in the damp areas. A lime tree avenue extends from the Moira Road to Burton Road. A withy bed is planted with various species of willows which will be coppiced and sold for use in hurdle making an other crafts. Sedges and rushes in the adjoining wetland provide habitats for ruddy darter dragonflies and other invertebrates. A hay meadow with individual trees recreates the ancient Prestop Park, one of the three original great parks of Ashby.
A new dedicated footpath through the site links the B5003 to an existing public footpath to create a circular walking route. A further permissive walking and riding route links to the A511.
