In February 2026, Snedshill and Albion Hill was formally identified as a standalone proposed Local Nature Reserve. Previously part of a larger proposed local nature reserve, it was felt that the unique community within St Georges that the site serves qualified it for a Local Nature Reserve declaration of its own.

The site covers 11 hectares in St Georges encompassing areas of woodland, scrub, heathland and grassland.


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. 

For more information on how to rescue a person from drowning please visit the RLSS website.
