The date for this visit has been selected to coincide with the flowering of the Lady’s Slipper Orchid, which was introduced on the site several years ago and is doing well here. We should also see other special flowers for which the reserve is famous. Birds of prey, particularly Marsh Harriers, are often seen soaring overhead. Good footwear is essential as the limestone pavements and paths can be slippery when wet.
Be aware that ticks are present on this site so please take precautions (long trousers and sleeves). Parking is by permit only on the site and car-parking spaces are limited. Toilets will be accessed en route; no facilities on site. Don’t forget your camera!
Leaders: John Gavaghan, Joan Dobson
