Exmoor Meadows Day

Red clover in a meadow.

Join us on Saturday 6th July for our second Exmoor Meadows Day. Organised to celebrate National Meadows Day, we are hosting a talk and walk at Hollam House, Dulverton to discover more about meadows and the wonderful life they contain. Hollam has 100 acres of incredible species rich grassland that it is a wonder to wander through and you will find out how they have managed it.

The event runs twice – at 11am and again at 2pm and will last approximately two hours. Meadows Day is free to attend but donations are very welcome!

From Dulverton take Hollam Lane and the 2nd left to park in the yard. We ask that dogs are kept at home for this event. Bring good sturdy shoes so you can enjoy a 45-minute guided walk exploring the meadow (the ground will be uneven).

The rivers of Exmoor are fairly full and the ground is absolutely saturated, making life difficult for the farming community and its livestock, yet the constant rain can unexpectedly benefit some wildlife, particularly in the floodplain within the Porlock Vale.
Local MP Rachel Gilmour, has written to the Minister for Housing and Planning requesting that he look into the merits of including swift bricks in new builds.
