This area is the result of thousands of years of sheep grazing the landscape. In terms of diversity, it is Western Europe’s equivalent to the tropical rainforest. There are many species here that cannot be found anywhere else, including many orchids, wildflowers and rare butterflies, such as the Adonis Blue.
