Cycle Rides with wildlife in mind

Three cycle rides that follow generally quieter lanes and which each take you on a tour past some of the special roadside verges. These are at their best from May to September when the wildflowers are in season. You may also see summer Butterflies like the Common Blue, a specialist of chalk loving vegetation.
