Hi Cliff
Where are the bee orchids?
Hi Pete, Follow the path from the Grimethorpe end. Walk paralel with Symphony, through the big green gate. Keep following path to a carved seat about one quarter of a mile. Look around the seat area and you will find them and some good butterflies on a good day.
Could only find yellow rattle
