Family afternoon out
Discussion
Anyone in North Wiltshire or South Gloucestershire could do a lot worse than take the family for a walk in North Meadow, Cricklade. This is the best site in the UK of the very rare flower, Snake's Head Fritillary, 75% of the UK population is here.
They only bloom for a few weeks and they'll be gone by the end of the month. There is a particularly good bloom this year, many think that's because of the cold winter.
Allow an hour or two for a walk round the whole meadow. There is the infant River Thames on one side of the meadow and the River Churn on the other, lots of other plants/wildlife/birds.
Local amenities in Cricklade, muddy dogs and boots are nomally welcome.
......and it's free dudes!

And I was at Batemans ( http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-batemans) on Sunday and they've got loads of them there too.
So not that rare then. Nice flowers though
