Flora and Fauna
Manor House Golf Club isn't just a
stunning golf course, it offers so much more in its diverse
range of wildlife and habitats. It really is Dolittle
country!
Over 100
species of wildflower
On the limestone grassland you will find over one hundred
species of wildflower, including early purple orchids, cowslips,
ox-eye daisy and horseshoe vetch (where you might just spot a
Chalkhill Blue, an extremely rare species of butterfly!)
More wildlife
than Toad Hall
In amongst our large expanse of Ancient Woodland you will find
Roe and Muntjack Deer, Badgers, Foxes, Kingfishers and Great
Woodpeckers. Look to the skies and you will see Buzzards,
Sparrowhawk and Kestrels.
Thriving lakes
If you are unfortunate enough to find your ball resting next to
one of the lakes on the 6th, 12th or 18th holes, look out for the
coots, moorhen, ducks and heron which nestle amongst the reeds.
Mature woodland
Castle Wood is composed mainly of mature Ash, Oak and Field
Maple. The Maples are of exceptional size, constituting a notable
feature. There are also several Elm trees and mature Holly
trees.
The shrub layer includes Willow, Hazel, Elder, Spindle and
Hawthorn. The ground flora includes ancient woodland indicator
plants such as Wood Anemone, Encanters Nightshade and
Violets.
