About the event

Brentmoor Heath is an area of wet and dry heathland habitats with woodland, grassland and ponds.

Ownership of Brentmoor Heath is split between the MOD, Surrey County Council and Surrey Heath Borough Council and it is managed by Surrey Wildlife Trust.

The site occupies the north eastern corner of an extensive block of lowland heath that includes Colony Bog, Pirbright and Bisley Ranges, and the training areas of West End Common.

The dry heath is dominated by ling, whilst the wet areas support the insectivorous sundews, cotton-grass, white beak sedge and cross-leaved heather.

The site is a haven for reptiles like grass snakes, adders, common lizards and slow worms. Many invertebrates can be found, as well as the Dartford warbler.

The walk is approximately 2 miles on footpaths and tracks with some minor obstacles and steps. We will walk at a gentle pace with lots of opportunities to stop and ask questions.
