Holt Island Nature Reserve

The Thicket is a picturesque narrow woodland located between St Ives and Houghton, featuring a diverse range of native flora and fauna amidst its steep, ash and field maple banks. Visitors can enjoy a tranquil setting ideal for birdwatching, though access is limited due to uneven terrain.

Historically significant, the woodland has remained untouched for ages, evidenced by its ancient woodland indicators like spurge laurel and old ash coppice stools. The area supports a variety of wildlife, including invertebrates and birds, making it a valuable natural habitat for both nature enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
