Wetland Walk and Community Orchard - Sandown
The Wetland Walk guides you through a section of the River Yar and along a network of waterways which we have enhanced for water voles and kingfishers. Gift to Nature has restored a community orchard on the site which you are welcome to visit and scrump in the autumn – we have included Isle of Wight fruit varieties including the Alverstone Apple.
The Wetland Walk can be started at the Orchard next to Southern Water’s Supply Works.
