This gentle walk explores Morgaston Woods, part of The Vyne estate in Hampshire. Along the way you'll discover ancient trees, wildlife-rich wetlands and medieval fishponds.

The wetlands are frequented by numerous species of birds. Wey Brook is also a haven for Watervoles. Sightings are rare, but they can often be heard along the brook making a distinctive 'plop' as they jump into the water.

Morgaston Woods are home to numerous varieties of fungi, mosses and lichens which can be spotted during your walk. Dead wood is left in-situ as much as possible to provide places for fungi to grow. Wild roe, fallow and muntjac deer can often be seen in the woods.

In spring, large areas of the woodland floor are carpeted by richly scented native bluebells. Look out for other woodland wild flowers too, such as wood anemone, wood sorrel, violets, primroses, foxgloves and common spotted orchids.
