Coldwell Parrock Coldwell Parrock was purchased by the Trust in 2000 and is being developed into a small nature reserve.  The reserve contains limestone grassland, woodland and an old limekiln. There is also a scattering of large glacial boulders as well as some limestone pavement.

The grassland contains rock rose, primrose, cowslip and thyme all of which are indicators of ancient grassland. The woodland is also very diverse with over a dozen species of trees. Some of the rarer flowers are also found in the woodland such as Herb Paris and Broadleaved Helleborine. The drystone walls are being renovated thanks to volunteers and also various grants. Conservation grazing is being carried out to encourage the growth of wild flowers.
