A RARE flower is exploding into life at a Cricklade nature reserve.
The Snake Head Fritillaries, which make up 80 percent of Britain’s Snake Head Fritillaries are starting to come into bloom now at Cricklade’s North Meadow nature reserve.
Visitors come from around the world to see the flowers each year and they will be able to enjoy a series of springtime guided walks of the reserve will take place from tomorrow.
The tours will be led representatives from Natural England and the Cricklade Manorial Court, a group that has existed in the town for 700 years.
North Meadow is located in the north of the town between the two rivers of the Thames and Churn.
To book a guided walk or arrange a group visit call Anita Barratt, reserve manager on 07795316191
