In the past 200 years the Lows has changed considerably from a windswept moorland hideaway to quarries, coal mines, brickworks and, finally, a Local Nature Reserve surrounded by houses. It is now a perfect place to observe wildlife, study local history and geology, to walk the dog and for children to play imaginative games and hunt for fossils.
