- Booking essential

The summer meadow tour winds through sunlit grasses alive with motion and colour, where native orchids tuck themselves among swaying stems of native grasses waiting to be noticed. Butterflies drift from bloom-to-bloom blues, fritillaries, and whites while the air hums softly with insects and birdsong. The walk feels unhurried and immersive, offering a close-up glimpse of a landscape that thrives on subtle interactions and seasonal abundance.
