Enjoy a guided walk exploring the secretive reptiles of Honeybourne in the Heart of England Forest.

As you explore meadow edges and carefully managed habitats, you’ll learn how basking spots, shelter and foraging areas support these species, along with the conservation work helping them thrive. A perfect outing for anyone curious about the hidden reptile life of the Forest.
