During September and October, you are likely to see a mixture of red and purplish black berries on Wayfaring shrubs that grow along the woodland edges of North and South Down. Click here to find out more about the wild flowers and other plants that flourish on Magog Down.
As we move towards mid-September, the evenings are becoming noticeably shorter. To reflect this, the car park closing time will change to 18:00 (6:00 pm) on Monday 14 September. This will remain the closing time for six weeks until late October, when British Summer Time ends. As usual, the car park will be unlocked each morning by 08:00.
It’s important that you leave the car park promptly. Opening and closing the car park gate is done each morning and evening by a dedicated group of volunteers. In the evenings, whoever is locking up will always check to see if vehicles are still in the car park. When that occurs, they will spend a short time looking round to see whether anyone is nearby before locking the gate. However, we do not expect our volunteers to spend extra time waiting for owners to return to their cars. Once the gate is locked, you will not be able to retrieve your vehicle until the following morning.
