Flora ID walks for families with Julia – Ham Hill Ranger!
Ham Hill's Northern Spur boasts a wealth of species among its calcareous grassland.

Suitable for families – up to 20 people per tour.
Although this walk is free, you can sign up on the day and make a donation. All donations go back into making more events like these happen.
There will be two walks, at 11.30am and 12.30pm.
Meeting point at the Ham Hill Rangers gazebo – near the Millennium Stones
