Join us this spring for a guided walk around RSPB Garston Wood. This ancient woodland is home to rare spring flowering plants, coppiced Hazel and spectacular mature Oaks. Witness the magnificent sight of the woodland carpeted by bluebells and a multitude of other flowers along the way. This walk is perfect for people who are new to nature and want to learn more about woodlands or nature enthusiasts who just want to gaze at this beautiful scenery.
