About this outing
The 1.3-acre Butterfly Meadow is across the road from St Mary’s Church, below the graveyard. The church invites visitors to explore this nature-conservation space, cared for with volunteers from Essex Wildlife Trust and Our Grieving Hearts. This is a gentle outdoor nature stop, not a playground or a supervised children’s session.
