The bank opposite the railway station entrance has a marvellous presence of Bee Orchid (Ophrys Apifera). Many thanks go to the station staff, who ensure that the area is clearly marked to alert the public to leave the ground undisturbed.
The pictures show the beauty of the orchids and why they are well worth protecting.
