Dacres Wood Nature reserve is a bit of a hidden gem, but the plan is to have regular Open Days on the last Saturday of every month from Spring to Autumn, from 12.00 to 3.00 - so the next one is coming up this Saturday.

There will be refreshments and tours of the reserve, and opportunities for visitors coming with sturdy gloves and secateurs to help with some conservation work.

As to what you'll see - here's a photo from earlier this year
