Welly Wednesday is an informal monthly led short walk on Kingcombe Meadows nature reserve. During the walk we will be stopping frequently to look, learn and chat about the amazing wildlife and history of the nature reserve, taking our time to admire and take in this special place. The nature reserve is also a working farm so please anticipate livestock on the walk.
The walk is intended to be a combination of a wildlife, wellbeing and social walk, rather than predominantly a guided wildlife walk.
We’ll be meeting at The Kingcombe Visitor Centre at 10:30am. This event is suitable for people aged 18+.
