Starting in the main parking area take this mildly challenging trail through the many different habitats within Wendover Woods. In the areas of Norway Spruce you maybe lucky enough to see the elusive Firecrest bird. It is an immigrant to this country and can only be seen during its breeding season, between April and August. The trail also winds through an area of grassland that becomes a profusion of wild flowers in the summer. A small pond close by makes an interesting resting point to watch the hive of wildlife activity, with changing flora and fauna throughout the year. Further along the trail, enjoy the bluebells in spring beneath the beech and the peaceful location of the bird hide.
