Overview

Therfield Heath has roughly a quarter of the UK population of the rare chalk grassland Pasque Flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris).  The walk will take us to Church Hill, where they should be in flower.  We will then carry on through the land of Thrift Farm to re-emerge at the very far end of the Heath and walk the whole length back to the Heath Cafe and car park.

We will start from the main Therfield Heath car park (next to the Heath Cafe and tennis courts). We will meet on the grass near the green rugby changing rooms at the South end of the car park. Please note two other car parks on the Heath have the same postcode. Do not go to the Golf Club or the Therfield Road car park near McDonalds.
