Guided walk at Parke: Orchids and wildflowers
A gentle guided walk to identify some of Parke's beautiful wildflowers with a focus on orchids.
- Booking essential
Local naturalist David Tilsley will guide you across the Parke Estate (around 1.5 miles) - at the peak of the wildflower season.
The star of the show will, hopefully, be the southern marsh orchid which flourishes in the wet meadows.
Sorry, this walk is not suitable for dogs. This is a free event.
