Overview

Meet at Fox & Goose car park. (If staying for coffee/drink in pub at end of walk, please park to the rear of the pub car park. If you are not joining us, please park in the village, eg near the church). Uphill walk to the nature reserve where we walk on grass downland with another down and up. At this time of the year we should be rewarded with orchids in flower. No stiles but there are some paths with long grass. Long trousers advisable due to ticks.
