Celebrate spring with a guided walk through Straidkilly Nature Reserve, a hidden woodland gem above Carnlough, with nature reserves officer Ryan Bradley. Wander through hazel and mixed woodland as the forest floor bursts into life with bluebells, lesser celandine, wood vetch, and parasitic toothwort.Listen for the songs of migrant and resident birds, spot butterflies like the silver‑washed fritillary, and keep an eye out for woodland mammals such as red squirrels, while enjoying stunning views of the Irish Sea.
Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for an outdoor event.
The walk will be no longer than 2 miles on medium terrain with some steep inclines.
