In Search of Coralroot Orchids
Join the rangers on a walk to spot the elusive coralroot orchid as it flowers in early summer.
- Booking essential
- Free event
Rare throughout the UK, this vulnerable little orchid is tiny and difficult to spot. With only a handful of sites in the UK playing host to the vulnerable little orchids its presence at Sandscale makes it even more special.
It enjoys the habitat of the dunes here and due to its size can be difficult to see, so join the rangers on a walk to catch a glimpse of this tiny beauty.
