We’re inviting you on a guided walk of Ranscombe Farm Nature Reserve, to discover the species that make it such an important and special site!

Learn about the wonderful wildflowers that grow at our flagship nature reserve and how we manage the land to help them thrive.

Accessibility: This walk will be around 3km (2 miles) and is suitable for people with a reasonable level of fitness. We will be traversing uneven ground and there are two fairly steep hills. There are no stiles on this walk and there will be frequent stops.

Details: The walk will take place from 1.30pm until 4.30pm on Thursday 29 May. Ranscombe Farm is our largest nature reserve in England, occupying a total area of 560 acres on the slopes of the North Downs in Kent. We will begin the walk further into the reserve with everyone meeting at the entrance and then vehicle sharing to reach our start point.
