Walking Picnics The best of Summer butterflies

1pm at Appleslade, Linwood

​This is a tranquil walk through deep woods, where, on sunny days, the Silver-washed Fritillary is the queen of the forest butterflies.  We should also see a range of other butterflies, and explore the site of an ancient hill-top settlement, before returning for a picnic on a pleasant, open lawn.
