Overview

A short walk around the Nashenden Nature Reserve.  We will make a short detour through 9-Acre-Wood to see some Early Purple Orchids.  These are an early flowering orchid, once commonplace they are now becoming rare.  We may also see the Longhorn Cattle and Large Black Pigs which are the only breed of British pigs that are entirely black.
