Steep steps lead up to a glorious chalk meadow and thankfully, given how hot it is, there are lots of shady patches round the edges.

I spot common and greater knapweed, agrimony, yellow rattle, hedge and lady’s bedstraw, quaking grass, perforate St John’s wort, kidney vetch, pyramidal orchid and goatsbeard… and hundreds of marbled white butterflies.

I’m here to practice grass identification and I’m pleased to be able to key out downy oatgrass successfully.
