Walks Fauna and Flora

English bluebells can be seen along the River Frome and in patches of woodland in spring.

You may be lucky and catch a glimpse of a kingfisher along the River Frome. Though relatively common they are also very shy but the flash of electric blue as it darts along the river is unmistakeable.

Comfrey has large hairy leaves and drooping flowers ranging from white to purple. It is common along the Frome in late spring.

Yellow hammers can be heard singing along Frampton End Road on summer evenings.

A summer visitor easily identified by its eponymous white throat.

The Speckled Wood is a common sight in woodland and in grassland.

Roe deer can occasionally be spotted in the fields or investigating the crops on offer at the allotments!

Grows in damp, shady places along the river. Recognisable by unusual square stems

Early to blossom, blackthorn trees have clouds of snow-white flowers which appear before the leaves in early spring. Their blue black fruits appear in profusion in autumn and although too astringent to eat are used to make sloe gin.
