Geocache Description:


McIlroy Park is a local nature reserve in Tilehurst, Berkshire, England. The nature reserve is under the management of the Reading Borough Council.  Along with Blundells Copse and Lousehill Copse it is part of West Reading Woodlands.

The site covers 11.98 hectares. McIlroy Park is located on a steep hill and features a large species-rich grassland field and a large block of mixed deciduous woodland.There are two ancient sunken paths that pass through the woodland.There are old chalk pits in the west woodland area from the old clay extraction industry and a possible Saxon mound on its eastern edge. 

McIlroy Park abuts, and is contiguous with another local nature reserve called Round Copse.

The land for the reservation was donated by William McIlroy, who owned a department store in Reading, and was mayor of the town.

In 1992 site was designated a local nature reserve.
