Kibblesworth landfill, now the Bowes Valley Nature Reserve, is home to the rare Dingy Skipper butterfly and protected birds such as the Little Ringed Plover. The site also counts Brown Hare, Roe Deer, 15 species of dragonfly and amphibians such as newts amongst its inhabitants. The Bowes Valley Nature Reserve covers an area of 36 hectares and is located 7 Kilometres south of Newcastle, next to the village of Kibblesworth. The site was used for clay extraction from 1955 and as a landfill from August 1985, managing the disposal of waste from local homes and businesses until its closure in 2001. The site’s owners and operators, SITA UK maintain the site as part of its 25-year aftercare programme and has invested £1.5 million in landscaping and restoration works. This includes footpaths for public access, car parking and visitor information boards. HAVE FUN CACHEING!
