Overview

We will get to see two of the Wildlife Towers on the Silverhand Estate especially built from reclaimed materials from the estate.  The towers have internal nesting boxes for kestrels, owls and bats with space in between the flint for butterflies, insects and bees to nest. We will have a short lunch stop in a wooded area weather permitting. Please note there are no toilets on the walk.
