Churn

Open downland & arable

Churn is a surprisingly open, windswept landscape characterised by large fields and big skies. It is one of the most reliable sites for Corn Bunting in the county, as well as breeding Skylark and Meadow Pipit. In winter, large mixed flocks of buntings and finches can be encountered along stubble fields, and raptors frequently quarter the area.

The minimal tree cover creates excellent opportunities for long-distance scanning and visible migration watching.
