The
spectacular scenery around Welcombe makes it the perfect venue for those who
enjoy coast and country walks. Berry Park borders the Marsland Valley which
is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) and an officially designated
area of outstanding natural beauty. It is home to much rare wildlife including
red deer, otters, owls and buzzards, Numerous wild flowers abound especially
in the springtime when bluebells carpet the woods and it becomes hard to believe
that orchids are rare. In Autumn the area produces a rich variety of mushrooms
and toadstools.
