Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now
- ☀️June — long evenings and clear skies; one of the most rewarding months for a late visit
- 🐕Early mornings are best for dog walks in summer — visit before 9am to avoid the heat and find quieter trails
- ☕The Mill — makes this an easy full-day family visit without needing to pack food
