This unimproved area of wet grassland is in the valley of Carleton Beck, a small tributary of the River Yare. There are species-rich fen and fen grassland communities in areas around springs on the side of the valley. The grassland is maintained by light summer grazing and it has a number of uncommon plants.[6]
The site is private land with no public access.
