Kemberton Meadows and Pitmounds

In February 2026, Kemberton Meadows and Pitmounds was formally identified as a standalone proposed Local Nature Reserve. Previously part of a larger proposed Local Nature Reserve to join with Holmer Lake, it was felt that the site should be independently declared to respect its unique ecological value and division from Holmer Lake by the A442.

Adjacent to the Halesfield industrial estate, the site provides a haven for wildlife with species-rich grassland, scrub and wooded areas present. Pitmounds from the former Kemberton and Halesfield Colliery are also present within the proposed site boundary, now covered in woodland.

Water safety

We want everyone to be safe when visiting our sites that have water features within them. 

We work closely with the Royal Life Saving Society on managing water safety on our sites and further details on advice can be found on the RLSS website.

When visiting this site, here are a few tips to keep safe around the water: 

• keep out of the water at all times 
• never allow children to play near the water unless accompanied by an adult 
• don't run near the water, you may trip and fall in 
• learn how to help in an emergency; if you see someone in trouble in the water never jump in yourself. Stay calm and phone for help. Some sites across the borough have water safety sites and equipment, please only use the equipment when required.
