Arable Plants Walk at Langley Vale Wood

Come along to Langley Vale Wood to help us find arable plants and learn more about why these species are so important. 

Previously an arable farm, Langley Vale Wood was acquired by us in 2014. Nearly 10 years on, the site is a haven for flora and fauna. Its hidden treasures include the many arable plant species left over from its agricultural past, some of which are of national and international importance.

On this guided walk, we’ll explore the site in search of these arable plants with help from our trusted volunteers.

This is a free event, but booking in advance via Eventbrite is essential.

Access

This walk will be approximately 2.5 hours long. It will take place partly on footpaths and partly on uneven ground with slight inclines. The walk will pass through gated areas.

Unfortunately, the route we have planned isn’t suitable for prams or people with mobility issues. If this means you’re unable to attend, but would like to, please get in touch and we will explore arranging an alternative route. Please contact us at: langleyvalewood@woodlandtrust.org.uk 

Dogs

Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome, but please ensure they are kept on their leads throughout the event.

Don’t forget

There are no toilet facilities onsite. The nearest public toilets are on Woodfield Lane in Ashtead (KT21 1AT).

Please dress appropriately for the weather, including sturdy footwear, suncream and water if needed.

If the weather is severe, the walk will be cancelled, so please check your emails the day before.

Please make the Woodland Trust team aware of any medical issues (for example, asthma, diabetes, or other conditions) before the start of the walk.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or a guardian.
