Discover the historical tales and hidden gems of the South Downs heaths while exploring the Secrets of The Heath sculpture trail. The trail links seven heathland sites in the National Park and one of the sculptures is the Wiggonholt Cricket based here at RSPB Pulborough Brooks.
The field cricket is an extremely rare, declining and threatened insect in the UK which depends solely on heathland habitat. It is classified as Vulnerable and is given full protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and is a Section 41 Species of Principal Importance in England. There has been a lot of work on this site to reintroduce the field cricket and encourage the regeneration of heather.
