Description
Cranebank has water meadows which have a number of locally rare species, such as cuckoo flower and ragged robin. It also has ox-bow lakes, and there are 26 species of butterflies and 12 of damselflies and dragonflies. It is also shown as part of the six mile long linear Crane Valley Park by London Gardens Online, while London's environmental information centre, Greenspace Information for Greater London, calls it Dudset Farm Pastures. The London Loop long-distance walk goes through the reserve, and the directions show it as Crane Bank Park.
