About

Mill Stream Nature Reserve

A 4.7-hectare Local Nature Reserve managed by East Suffolk District Council, Mill Stream follows a stream corridor on the Kesgrave and Rushmere St Andrew boundary, taking in wet carr, willow scrub, and wildflower grassland along its length. Ancient oak trees mark the old parish boundaries, and the reserve supports wildlife including water voles. The site forms part of the Enchanted Tree Trail, a 2.5km family-friendly circular walk that begins and ends at the Enchanted Playground nearby.
