National Trust - Croft Castle

This year again, due to huge demand, we are holding three days of fungus walks, including a mid-week walk.

Saturday 17th October, 2009

Sunday 18th October, 2009

Wednesday 21st October, 2009

All walks are by booking only, with National Trust at Croft Castle - 01568 780246 and a small charge will be made.

Whilst we try to cater for all abilities several of the paths we use are unsuitable for wheelchairs and prams or buggies.  Suitable strong footwear is needed plus waterproof clothing as the walks will go ahead even if the weather is inclement.  Please note that whilst well behaved dogs are welcome if kept on a short lead, umbrellas are discouraged!

NT Croft Castle is perhaps one of the best sites for finding fungi in the area.  Its huge range and diversity is second to none and there is always something to be found whatever the time of year.  Each Autumn we hold walks through the estate not just to seek out the fungi hiding there but to also enjoy finding the other fruits and nuts of nature's store-cupboard and the changing colours of the surrounding woodlands.

 

Cidermaking Festival

17th - 18th October

Cider Museum - Hereford

More information from the museum direct, but Marches Fungi will have a display and information boards at the event
