Sunday 29th June at 11:00am. Llynclys Meadows – Anthill and Lower Butcher’s
We hope to visit two calcareous grassland meadows at Llynclys. The first is Anthill Meadow which has had scrub removed and is now recovering. If time allows we will move onto Lower Butcher’s which is a short distance away. Both should have typical limestone species in flower in June. The anthills used to be covered in Thymus polytrichus, Wild Thyme, with Heliantheum nummularium, Rock Rose is also present and these should now be coming back in quantity. Distances are not big, but tracks are uneven and the access to Lower Butcher’s is quite steep.
Access is by walking up Sun Lane, a track off the A495 just east of Dolgoch. This not suitable for ordinary vehicles. Opposite Sun Lane is a turning to Llynclys Quarry. Take this turning and park in the approach road to Llynclys Quarry outside the gates, and as tidily as possible. Then walk back and cross the road to Sun Lane – with care as the traffic is heavy and fast moving.
We will meet at 11.00a.m. at Sun Lane.
Lynclys Quarry is at SJ 264 241, Post code SY10 8LW, what three words https://w3w.co/passions.increment.pheasants
