Hiking

A picturesque old Hawthorn Tree, also known as a May Tree, named after the month in which it blooms. These native trees have pale pink petals when they flower, and are an indicator of the seasons changing from spring to summer. The Hawthorn is a perfect sanctuary for various birds and small wildlife due to its thick foliage brimming with thorns - a great spot for bird watching. Please be sure to stay on the paths behind the fences when the bluebells are out.
