Common spotted, pyramidal, fragrant, bee, man - orchids are easy to identify for beginners and experts alike as the name describes the flower. From Shoreham Station we are serenaded by skylarks as we take the farm track to Preston Hill, formerly an army rifle range and the first of our chalk grassland SSSIs. Amid clouds of butterflies if the day is sunny, we make our way to Magpie Bottom and Fackenden Down, two more SSSIs, and return via White Hill.
Please bring a picnic. Refreshments available in Shoreham after the walk.
Hilly, with some uneven ground, but the pace will be leisurely and stop-start as we spot the orchids.
Meet in Shoreham Station Car Park. There are trains every half hour from Sevenoaks or Swanley direction. If driving, please car share if possible and park considerately in Station Road.
