The Strawberry Line

A walk along the old Railway line, with a view to getting a photograph of some Nettle-leaved Bellflowers that we saw the other day proved to be a delight. Along the way we also saw Common Toadflax, Black Nightshade, splendid displays of Old Man's Beard (below) and Spindleberries.

We then took the bottom trail through Kings Wood. Ash, Oak and Beech trees seem make up the main body of the wood, we were particularly taken by the Ash below, which would seem to have come through an extraordinary battle with gravity!
