About the event

Gait Barrows is one of Britain’s most important limestone landscapes and contains an intricate mosaic of habitats. Our full day on this special Natural England site will allow us a thorough exploration of the limestone pavement, woodlands and surrounding grassland with its rare and unusual varieties of flora and invertebrates that are hard to find elsewhere in the district including the possibility of the Duke of Burgundy butterfly.

Anyone who enjoys nature is welcome to join us. No knowledge or experience necessary. Everyone very welcome. Hear about the wildlife we see, do some wildlife photography or simply enjoy some like-minded company. In the case of doubtful weather do email or ring 07361 380255, to check in case of cancellation or postponement. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Dogs are not allowed. Suitable outdoor clothing and footwear are strongly recommended. Bring water - and a packed lunch for the all-day events. There is no charge but donations are always welcome.
