The Wren's Nest is a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in the Dudley Metropolitan Borough, north west of the town centre of Dudley, in the West Midlands of England. It is one of the most important geological locations in Britain.[1][2] It is also a Local Nature Reserve,[3][4] a national nature reserve (NNR) and Scheduled Ancient Monument.[5][6] The site is home to a number of species of birds and locally rare flora, such as Scabiosa columbaria (small scabious), milkwort and quaking grass.[7] The caverns are also a nationally important hibernation site for seven different species of bat.[5][8]
