Wildflower Meadows at Stonebarrow, near Charmouth
The wildflower meadows on the National Trust’s Golden Cap estate are beginning to bloom and in the spring you have a good chance of seeing the green-winged orchid in the Westhay meadows.
Westhay Farm was once part of a settlement dating back to the medieval period. The term ‘Hay’ is common in West Dorset and means an enclosure. In this area, the patchwork pattern of fields has been preserved and the traditional methods of farming have encouraged a plethora of wildlife including butterflies and many varieties of orchid.
