Botanical walk at Porth, Newquay, SW86

Nov 27, 2013 by Ian Bennallick BCG co-ordinator

A mid-winter walk around the eastern part of the town and coastal area for early flowers and updating under-recorded squares SW8262, SW8362, SW8263 and SW8363. Meet by the bridge at Porth SW83206288. Parking may be limited so try to find parking spaces nearby. There is a pay and display car park at Porth Beach tourist park (open 8am to 5pm, £1 per hour or £6 all day) but you may find it easier (and cheaper) to park safely somewhere on a street nearby and meet at the bridge.

Meetings are open to all and are free unless otherwise stated. Bring hand-lens, notebooks and field guides if you wish, relevant OS 1:25000 maps and a GPS if you have one. Suitable clothing and footwear is recommended and bring a packed lunch.

If the weather is very wet, snowy or windy (or forecast to be) the meeting may be cancelled – contact the co-ordinator beforehand to check.
