Please meet us at 1pm at the vehicle gate entrance to the cinema field on Herbert Service Road, just up the hill from Ash Hill Primary School. Please park considerately on surrounding residential roads. The nearest postcode is HP13 7HH.
The Walk:
We will take a walk through the beautiful wildflower meadows of Gomm's Wood, learning to identify a variety of butterflies and their food plants. An opportunity to discover more about some rare and beautiful creatures right on your doorstep! Some of the walk will be on steep slopes and rough ground, as we make our way around Micklefield Bank, the Butterfly Ride, and Gomm's Bank.
The walk will go ahead even if raining ... although there may be fewer butterflies, their wildflower foodplants will still be there to admire.
