The next Field Trip will be on Sunday 16th July at 2.30pm to Swaddywell Pit Nature Reserve. Leader: Stuart Irons
Swaddywell Pit Nature Reserve was originally owned by Charles Rothschild in the early 20th century and earlier in history it was made famous by the poet, John Clare in two poems ("I love thee Swordy Well"). This much maligned site (previously a quarry, refuse tip and race track) has been restored by the Langdyke Trust and is now rich with plants and insects during the Summer months.
