Outdoor Event - Seacombe Valley and Dancing Ledge

Sunday 24th March 2019
Seacombe and Dancing Ledge  09:30 – all day.

A chance to see some early spring migrants as well as returning nesting seabirds on the cliffs.

Meet in the car park in Worth Matravers (SY 974776) where charges apply.
It is a Category B/C walk which means that there are some steep hills so please wear appropriate footwear. The forecast looks dry with the temperature being just below 10°C

All welcome and there is no fee charged for the guided walk. Please also note that it is not obligatory to stay for the whole duration and if you want to join us just for the morning then we would still very much appreciate your company.
