Join us for this early morning walk to discover and celebrate ‘the herald of the morn’ – the joyous song of the skylark, and more! The arable fields of the Chilterns are home to the ‘the morning lark’, a small bird which has been the subject of many works of literature from Chaucer to Shelley, and the music of Vaughan Williams and more.
Our 4-mile walk takes us through the Chilterns countryside around Binfield Heath and Shiplake Row where the wide-open fields of Shiplake Farm are a perfect place to experience an ‘exultation’ of skylarks and to discover what makes this ‘ethereal minstrel’ so special.
Additional information
Please dress appropriately for a walk in the countryside, and having regard to the British weather! Paths may be rough and muddy in part. A small rucksack is useful for personal items such as water, snacks, spare clothing etc. We advise walkers to carry personal first aid.
Post walk, perhaps treat yourself to breakfast at the nearby Bottle & Glass Inn, Binfield Heath.
NO DOGS – Due to the nature of this walk, and the presence of ground nesting birds, I am not able to accept dogs.
