Foxglove Covert is a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) located on Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire, England and is on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales. The reserve was created in 1992 by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards who had just returned from the First Gulf War. The reserve has been visited by royalty and has won many awards for its activities.
The nationally renowned site is noted for being located on Ministry of Defence (MoD) land with access via security control on part of Catterick Camp. It was the first nature reserve in Richmondshire and was the first nature reserve with public access on MoD land.
