Magog Down
The Magog Trust is creating an area for conservation and informal recreation on the Gog Magog hills just south of the boundary of the City of Cambridge, off the A1307 road to Linton and on Haverhill Road, Stapleford. Magog Down is owned and managed by the Governors of the Magog Trust who bought it in 1989. It covers 163.5 acres of previously intensively farmed arable land. It is freely open to all, all year round. It has:
	Two meadows sown with wild flowers and grasses native to chalk grassland. Six woods, planted between 1990 and 1992, with 24,000 trees native to the chalk meadows of over a century ago
It is seeing the return of ground-nesting birds, like the skylark, and native flowering plants like the cowslip.
The Magog Trust is a Registered Charity No. 802150 and a Company limited by guarantee, registered in England No. 2426534.
