Fromus Blackberry Day
Simpson’s Fromus Valley is a series of species-rich flower meadows with a fascinating history. To provide protection to sensitive flora, the gates to this nature reserve are normally locked, but it is opened to the public two or three mornings a year.
Saturday 13 September is one such morning – just in time for blackberry picking! Sloes, bullaces and blackberries are all there for the picking from the hedgerows for your larder — just leave some for the birds!
Trustees and volunteers will be on hand for guided tours, or you can take a self-guide leaflet and explore the 28 acres at leisure. There’s something for everyone — medieval earthworks, bugs, butterflies, spiders, dragonflies, birdlife and, of course, wild flowers! Wear long trousers/sleeves and sturdy boots as the ground is uneven and may be muddy.
Sorry, no dogs.
