LATEST:Pease Dean
Scottish Borders
Pease Dean reserve has two distinct arms: Pease Burn and Tower Burn. The area beside Pease Burn is an open valley with grassland, gorse, and alder. Upstream from where the two burns merge, the valleys become steeper and more wooded. Tower Burn has extensive areas of mixed woodland which supports attractive ground flora. Part of the reserve is SSSI designated for its native oak woodland, mosses and liverworts.
