East Yorkshire (near Pocklington)
This SSSI is a fragment of lowland heath accessed by a 1km track within Forestry Commission woodland. The different habitats support a variety of plants and consequently a rich insect population. Birds include woodpeckers and woodlark. We may see lizards and adders and, with a volunteer guide, the nationally rare May Lily. There are two stiles, no formal paths, and some ground is uneven with tussocks and hollows. Access to nearby Caley Heath to look for a Yorkshire rarity, Shepherds Cress, may be possible. There is no shelter. Toilets on route.
