** Change to previous parking advice **
Park opposite the primary school at SU554620, RG19 8FY, ///firewall.tangible.fakes. Heading south on the B3051 turn right into Ashford Hill Road towards Headley. The car park is on the left about 150 metres up this road – use first entry. It’s about 5 minutes walk to our meeting place in the recreation ground car park (SU555621, ///email.spill.eruptions) via a footpath starting on the west side of the school, or north along the B3051 and up the first branch of Chapel Lane.
The site is a complex of woods and wet and dry meadows under different management, with a remarkably diverse flora and abundant insects and birds. Part is currently being grazed and the ground is uneven in places. We hope to see Dyer’s Greenweed, Greater Broomrape and a variety of marshland plants. Morning walk but bring a picnic if you would like to explore further; please contact us if you intend to come and may stay longer.
