If you would like some help in planning your wildlife holiday for 2008 or 2009, join our tour leaders and staff at our Cheriton Mill offices for tea, coffee, cakes and expert advice on one of the Naturetrek Open Days listed below. Two of these Open Days are themed — when Indian/South American snacks will be served, and Powerpoint presentations shown, throughout the day; others will focus on the full range of our tours. During the summer you may wish to combine your visit to us with one or more of the local attractions. These include some fabulous local pubs along the Itchen Valley, the delightful National Trust house and gardens just a mile away at Hinton Ampner, the Watercress Line for steam train enthusiasts, birdwatching at nearby Alresford Pond and the surrounding watercress beds and water meadows, butterflies and botany on the chalk downland National Nature Reserves at Beacon Hill and Old Winchester Hill or at Butterfly Conservation's Magdalen Hill Down Reserve on the eastern outskirts of Winchester (www.hantsiowbutterflies.org.uk), not to mention the attractions of the charming Georgian market town of Alresford and the historic cathedral city of Winchester just a short drive away. Please do email Julie or phone on 01962 733051, first to ensure an appointment can be made for you to see the staff member best suited to discuss
your interests!
