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
  • 🐕Early mornings are best for dog walks in summer — visit before 9am to avoid the heat and find quieter trails
  • 🐾Animal sanctuary on site — a good way to combine wildlife and an animal visit in the same trip

Good to know

  • £Free to visit — no entry charge
