Up to the present, the Trust appointed to administer the Chase has managed to keep large areas in a natural state where, in season, the glory of our unique wildflowers riots across the ridges in profusion and native animals of several varieties inhabit the secluded spots. For residents and visitors, the area represents a splendid breathing space, with good motor roads and picnic facilities for those who desire them, fire trails and tracks for equestrians and occasionally walkers, who may be glad to use them to traverse a particularly thick patch of scrub. |
