Milton Country Park Walk

St Valentine was the patron saint of beekeepers (among other things) - I wonder if we will manage to spot any bees on our walk today! We will be taking a gentle stroll around this varied country park, through grassland, woodland and wetland areas. We saw a kingfisher on our last visit, so fingers crossed!

Terrain: surfaced paths, footpaths

What we might see: kingfisher, mute swan, gadwall, teal, great spotted woodpecker, green woodpecker, jay

Meet: Outside Grounds cafe

Parking: Milton Country Park CP, £3.50 parking charge

Optional coffee afterwards: Grounds cafe (in the park)
