| Venus Pool nature
reserve, owned by the Shropshire Ornithological Society, is approximately six mile south
of Shrewsbury in Shropshire on the A458 just past Cross Houses. |
| The pool, islands and
scrapes were formed from old gravel workings to give a range of habitats for as many
species of birds as possible including all year residents, winter visitors and passing
migrants |
| The site also includes
hay meadows, arable land, a marsh area and a shallow canal and path for butterflies and
dragonflies. |
| The facilities include
a car park and a disabled area on site and five hides. Two of the hides are open to the
public, one overlooks the pool and the second one, a feeding station is set in willow
scrub. |
