This is the last site on my tour east across the North Downs.

The golf course spreads along a narrow chalky valley and above the greens, the rough really is rough. We work our way through the woods on the ridge until I find a narrow path through the hedge down onto the rough grass.

I’m delighted to see this achingly beautiful young goat’s beard flower. It’s also known as jack go to bed at noon, because the flowers are only open in the morning.

It’s too hot and shadeless to spend long here today so we go off in search of icecream. I’m looking forward to coming back for a longer explore another day.
