Ambarrow Court is an 8.7 hectare (21.5 acres), Local Nature Reserve located in Little Sandhurst between the A321 and the Reading to Guildford railway line. Much of the site was once managed as a Victorian country estate, although the original house of 1855 has since been demolished. This site contains many habitats including ancient woodland, hazel coppice, marshes, ponds and pools, birch coppice and meadow. Some notable plants include the bluebells and associated spring woodland flowers, cuckoo flower and yellow rattle in the meadow. Important animals recorded include the stag beetle, noctule bat and glow worm, which appear on the Bracknell Forest Biodiversity Action Plan (www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/ambarrowcourt)
