Join Gill and John Brooks to find out about Dragonflies at Bedgebury. A survey carried out by rangers at Bedgebury has recorded 20 different species of dragonfly. Species ranging from the common darter to the golden-ringed dragonfly can be seen at Bedgebury through the summer months and even in autumn.

The golden-ringed dragonfly is one of the largest and most spectacular dragonflies that is easily recognized by its dark body and bright yellow rings on the abdomen. Although scarce in the South this species is encouraged by the rare heathland habitat at Bedgebury and the fast flowing, clean rivers and streams.

The cost is £8.00 for adults, £7.00 for concessions and FOBP, £6.00 for children. You will be taken into damp, marshy areas so please wear suitable footwear.
