Join us on Wednesday 28th May 10am - 12pm for a guided walk around this heathland habitat.
Brentmoor Heath is an area of wet and dry heathland habitats with woodland, grassland and ponds.
Ownership of Brentmoor Heath is split between the MOD, Surrey County Council and Surrey Heath Borough Council and it is managed by Surrey Wildlife Trust.
The site occupies the north eastern corner of an extensive block of lowland heath that includes Colony Bog, Pirbright and Bisley Ranges, and the training areas of West End Common.
The dry heath is dominated by ling, whilst the wet areas support the insectivorous sundews, cotton-grass, white beak sedge and cross-leaved heather.
The site is a haven for reptiles like grass snakes, adders, common lizards and slow worms. Many invertebrates can be found, as well as the Dartford warbler.
Important information:
The walk is approximately 2 miles on footpaths and tracks with some minor obstacles and steps. Walking boots are recommended. We will walk at a gentle pace with lots of opportunities to stop and ask questions.
This walk is aimed at adults (18+ years old). Unfortunately this site is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility. Please do not bring dogs on this walk.
Parking and meeting place:
Parking is available on Broad Street - we will meet at the junction of Broad Street and Birch Lane (what3words: ///prom.shows.gosh) - see image below.
