Ewelme Watercress Beds
&
Local Nature Reserve
Open days and guided tours
Open Days/Guided Walks are
arranged around the Ewelme Watercress Beds Local Nature Reserve on the first
Sunday each month. The guided walks start at 10:30 with
a short film of the watercress industry filmed in the 1950's. We then offer a
guided walk round the upper site which lasts about 45 minutes and is about 400m
or 1/4 mile. We then return to the visitor centre for tea/coffee and there is
then an option to visit the lower site, a walk of about 1200m which takes a
similar time to the first part as there's less stopping and talking.
For the winter guided walks
please arrive for the 10.30 start.
