Join Frankie and Alison at 5:00pm for a 45-minute fun walk following easy footpaths north of the village and ending at the little known or appreciated, Munsley Bog. Munsley Bog is a small wetland site and a Site of Interest for Nature Conservation (SINC) with very high historic nature conservation value.
The mile long circular walk is suitable for individuals and families and requires crossing some stiles and bridges.
Following the walk everyone is invited into the scout hall where, after refreshments, at 6:00m University of Portsmouth PhD student Eve Horsfall will offer a short interactive talk explaining how her ongoing studies of Munsley Bog, using volcanic ash, charcoal and pollen, offer a fascinating insight into the dramatic environmental changes that have happened on the Isle of Wight over the past 13,000 years.
Join us for the walk or the talk, or better still, both!
There is free car parking at the scout hut and surrounding roads. Bus service 2 and 3 pass May Close regularly.
Entry FREE
No age restriction
