The John William Hall Reserve is a former private nursery, which was operated in the early 1900’s by Mr John William Hall, a botanist and local chemist, who was widely recognised for the discovery of a separate Totara species known as Hall's Totara. William Hall Reserve contains an incredible collection of nationally – and internationally – significant trees that were grown from seedlings in the early 1870s by JW Hall.
The site affords amazing sea views over the Firth of Thames and a network of walks through these giant treasures.
Dogs are welcome, on a lead to wander the tracks, beside the stream in this nine acre reserve.
