First seen in late March this year, cowslips (Primula veris) cover North Down during April and May. To find out more about wild flowers seen on Magog Down, go to the Flower, Fungi and Mosses page.
With British Summer Time beginning on Sunday 30 March and hence lighter evenings, the car park closing time will move forward to 8:00 pm (20:00) on Tuesday 1 April. As usual, the car park will be unlocked by 08:00.
Please ensure that you leave the car park promptly. We rely on a group of dedicated volunteers to open and close the car park gate. They always check to see if anyone is nearby before locking the gate. However, if a vehicle is left in the car park after the stated closing time, it may well be locked in and you would need to retrieve it the following morning.
The car park will continue to be locked at 8 00 pm (20:00) right through until mid-September. The actual date will be publicised a few days beforehand. Please check the Blog and News page for the latest opening and closing times.
