If you don't know your beech from your birch or your elder from your alder this is the walk for you! No prevous knowledge required but plenty will be dished out! 

We'll take a tour on the Ridgeway national trail looking at around 15 common trees in their witer state. I'll explain their habitat, how to identify them (without their leaves!), and their traditional uses for woodwork, fire, food and medicine.

The walk is a moderate grade with 1 steep, stepped incline, then muddy trails.
