A guided walk around our nature reserve for the U3A

Early autumn flowers on Popehouse Moor Site of Special Scientific Interest, Devon
[Maggie] On Friday I took a group from the Tiverton branch of the University of the Third Age around Popehouse Moor, our SSSI nature reserve.

Yet the weather was kind – clearing up to a sunny morning.

We don’t charge for walks and always offer free guided walks to guests at our eco lodges and cottage, but we do ask for a donation, to be passed on to the Devon Wildlife Trust, for outside groups.

So a big thank you to the U3A group, whose whip round generated £35, which I know the Trust will put to good use.

If anyone else would like to arrange a walk, please feel free to get in touch. There’s something to be seen all year round – though May is probably the highlight for flowers.
