Evidence of summer and autumn

Tuesday, November 10th 2009

It's been a quiet day here. Although the sun has been shining there is a definite nip in the air and there has been frost all day in an area along the beck which does not see the sun.

Whilst walking along the beck I came across evidence of summer and autumn within a few yards of each other. Firstly the rich golds and browns of the bracket fungus on the dead tree at the bridge over the beck.

A few yards further on these Red Campion flowers were hanging on as a reminder of summer.

Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve is now OPEN

Monday 4th November 2024 |

The security gate and it's safety features are to be working, so we're reopening to the public.

However the intercom and remote gate opening system is currently non-functional. Entry and exit to the reserve will therefore take place via key fobs which will be issued to visitors when they sign in at the Cambrai Lines front entrance. These fobs can be used to open the gate when entering and exiting the reserve. They must be returned to the front entrance pass office upon exiting the reserve.

Please note access will be limited by the number of fobs available. You may therefore be turned away at the pass office if all fobs are in use at that time. Please only collect one fob per visiting group and ensure you enter and exit the reserve together.

Please check the FAQs for further information on entrance procedures.
