Pop's Wood Nature Reserve

Pops Wood

Across the Island, more and more people are recognising the need to protect the breathtaking landscapes that make this place so unique. That’s exactly what Pop's Wood Nature Reserves are all about.

Led by Head Warden Phil Sard and Custodian Imogen Baden Powell, this inspiring initiative is turning small pockets of land into thriving natural sanctuaries—places where both wildlife and people can flourish. But it’s485765903 672620291870676 7309 not just about conservation; it’s about connection. These spaces are designed to be welcoming, peaceful, and accessible to everyone.

With picnic tables shaded by trees and squirrel hides perfect for a quiet bit of wildlife spotting, each reserve offers a rare blend of calm, discovery, and natural wonder. They provide a meaningful way to enjoy the Island’s wild side—and a powerful reminder of why we must protect it.

Holy Trinity’s Connection
As a proud mission partner, Holy Trinity works alongside Phil Sard to support the long-term vision for Pop’s Wood. Our shared goal is not just to protect these beautiful green spaces, but to spark a deeper appreciation for the natural world around us.

Planning your Visit

gateway-new-to-church-1

Welcome to Holy Trinity Bembridge!


The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.
 

Where and When

8.00am 

We meet at St Lukes Chapel for a quiet and traditional “said” service using the Book of Common Prayer.

10.30am

We meet at Holy Trinity Church  for a more relaxed and modern language service using Common Worship with a mixture of traditional hymns and contemporary worship songs.

For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you are able to park nearby and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

The church is accessible to people with disabilities with  a disabled access toilet, a Loop System and large print service sheets available. Please just ask one of the welcome team upon arrival if you need any help.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the 10.30am service in the Cloisters.  It is a great way to meet people and to find out more about us. You would be very welcome to join us. 

What about my children?

IMG 7901Children’s Club, our Sunday School is available for children of 10 years and under every Sunday at our 10.30am service.  Activities vary depending on the age but always include a friendly welcome, bible stories, music & craft.
