Tump 53 Nature Reserve

Nature reserve with historic significance since it was once a tump munitions store for the Woolwich Arsenal. These days it is used to educate the community about local wildife and habitat conservation. Over 60 bird species have been found here, including kingfisher, willow warblers and redpoll. Tump 53 is a former munitions testing site and one of the few remaining tumps which were originally built by the nearby Royal Arsenal to store gunpowder, encircled with blast walls and moats.
