The South region were delighted to hear a lecture from Rachel Pearson in 2023. Now we have an opportunity to visit the Estate and see some of the locations she spoke about, including the nature reserve, Bucklers Hard and the visitor attraction. Rachel will provide a commentary on how each of the locations fit into the running of the Estate. We will travel around the Estate by minibus and there will be opportunities to get out of the bus and walk around.
Please note this visit is not restricted to those who attended the lecture; all are welcome.
