Farnham Heath

Top things to do in Spring

Listen to the mellow song of woodlarks
Feast the eyes on a liquid shimmer of bluebells
Enjoy the dawn chorus

Top things to do in Summer

Visit at dusk to watch bats, nightjars and woodcocks
Watch dragonflies buzzing around the pond
See the heath swathed in purple when the heather is in flower

Top things to do in Autumn

Admire the many different kinds of fungi
Feel the crunch of fallen leaves underfoot in the chestnut coppice
Watch green woodpeckers feeding on ants in the sunshine

Top things to do in Winter

Listen for the 'chip, chip' of crossbills in the pines
Watch siskins and lesser redpolls feeding in the tree tops
Just enjoy a walk on a crisp winter's day
