This is a new reserve for the Bees group situated on the sands and gravels of the flood plain of the Ure and alongside the Ripon canal. It is an ideal venue for a Bees group consisting of a flat gravel path, a gazebo, picnic tables, viewing screens and a hide. All abilities can be included. The summer flora more especially the water lilies and plants alongside the canal will be stunning. The reserve supports a range of butterflies, dragonflies and other insect life. Bird life will also be varied with passerines in the reedbeds and diving terns in the lake and canal. We will stop at a nearby Morrisons for toilets and refreshments if required. This is a midsummer trip so please take precautions, hat, water and sun screen.
