The Castle Road open area is a lush slice of paradise in the summer months. There's so much to see and explore here - this event is perfect for adults and children.Lots of bird species have been reported here, so join us for a gentle stroll to see what we can identify. (If you're looking for an app to help identify birdsong then the Merlin app is free and comes highly recommended by lots of our members).
The tall vegetation is alive with insects at this time of year and, if the sun's out, we'll see plenty of butterflies - the nettles here are a perfect breeding habitat for many species.
Join us - everyone is welcome.
Directions:
The open area is at the bottom of Castle Road, Allington, ME16 0NH. Map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/pxGdJPvsaTj7KjT38
Head past the Allington Community Association, over the railway bridge and take the turning immediately right after the bridge and into the car park. If you're arriving by car, the parking is free but please bear in mind it gets very busy at weekends with walkers heading down to the river. So if you do need to drive there then please consider car sharing. If you're travelling from further afield, the open area is approximately a 15-20 min walk from London Road bus routes.
There are no toilets on site. Closest toilets are at Mid Kent Shopping Centre.
The paths are mown grass (unpaved). No steps or steep inclines.
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
