Surrey Hills podcasts: A walk with a ranger
Tune into episode 2 of the Surrey Hills podcasts: 'A walk with a ranger' and hear about Headley's astounding array of protected birds, plants, and animals. Its former uses – from common grazing land to military training site have left a legacy of soil disturbance that’s proven invaluable today and created an almost unique habitat for wildflowers to flourish.
