Knighton Reserve

Silverlake, located in West Dorset, was formerly the site of RAF Warmwell. Rich in history and nature, the Silverlake Estate is a stunning space with unspoiled grounds, beautiful wildlife and everything the great outdoors has to offer.

Knighton Reserve is the new Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG), open all year round to homeowners, guests and the local community, that promises to enchant nature lovers and adventurers alike. Covering 15.5 Hectares, the reserve offers a variety of walking trails, ranging from short routes such as Pooch’s Place to longer distance trails such as the combined Knighton Reserve route. So, get ready to embark on a journey of discovery through this enchanting wildlife haven. This former quarry has been thoughtfully transformed into a blooming oasis that is teeming with rare bird species and abundant local wildlife. Why not head over to Peregrine Point, or Larus Lookout, where you can discover birds such as Waders, Skylarks and Sand Martins, amongst many others.
