Rixton Clay Pits
Rixton Clay Pits (also known as Rixton Claypits) is a former clay extraction site in Rixton, near Hollins Green, Warrington, England. Formerly farmland, boulder clay extraction started in the 1920s for brick making in the adjacent brickworks, and ceased in 1965 - since when it has been allowed to return to nature. It is now an area of ponds, scrub, woodland and damp grassland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Rixton Claypits )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/protectedsites/sacselection/sac.asp?EUCode=UK0030265 )〕 It is owned and managed by Warrington Borough Council as a local amenity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.warrington.gov.uk/info/200860/parks/950/rixton_claypits_local_nature_reserve )〕
Two large sections of Rixton Clay Pits, in total, are a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a designated Special Area of Conservation, on account of its calcareous grassland communities and because it supports the largest breeding population of Great Crested Newts in Cheshire.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/Special/sssi/unitlist.cfm?sssi_id=1003514 )〕 The whole was established as a local nature reserve in 1996, and has waymarked paths and a visitor centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hollinsgreen.net/pagesLinkedTemplate/ClayPits.html )〕〔〔
Fishing is permitted on the lake between the two sections of SSSI, and is controlled by the Warrington Anglers Association, the main stock being tench, bream and roach. Carp and pike are also present.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rixton Clay Pits )〕
