Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
  • ☀️Summer family visits work well here — arrive early and plan for a longer stay
  • National Trust — makes this an easy full-day family visit without needing to pack food
