Filey Dams Nature Reserve

Birdwatchers are well catered for with two viewing hides, but the reserve is also of botanical interest and is home to a number of mammal, insect and amphibian species, including an internationally important population of great crested newts.

The general nature of the land and regular winter flooding ensure that a comprehensive wetland flora is present.

The dominant species is soft rush, with water plantain, water-crowfoot, celery-leaved buttercup, nodding bur-marigold and adder’s-tongue fern all to be found.
