History

Beacon Field has been used as an open space since before the Second World War and managed as a public open space by Bodmin Town Council since the 1970’s.

The hay meadows and community woodland have been variously managed in the past as agricultural land (largely as seasonal grazing for livestock) until their eventual inclusion in the reserve with the progressive expansion of the boundaries.

Some of the site was subject to Environmental Land Manangement grants in the early 1990s following which the whole site was declared a Local Nature Reserve in 1994.
