Shaftesbury Millie College (Formally known as Liveability) near Holten Heath is offering a unique opportunity to explore the stunning 350 acre nature reserve out of college hours. The Holton Lee site became home to a special education provision in September 2022 and has gone from strength to strength in student numbers and sympathetic site development, creating a substantial plant nursery and kitchen garden area and accessible homes for the rescued animals. During this 2 hour experience, you will have the opportunity to wander through the woodlands, browse along the boardwalk and saunter through the heathlands with a knowledgeable tour guide. Following the tour, the group will return to the Farmhouse for much needed refreshments and a chance to socialise in the beautiful surroundings, the guides will be on hand to answer any questions during this time."
A ploughman’s style platter including mature cheddar, pork pie, salad from the gardens, homemade seasonal chutney, pickle, grapes, pickled onions and fresh bread will be served. This would include brownies or similar for the sweet option and tea, coffee and fruit juice (apple and orange) available.
A tour will last for at least 60 mins, to start from the main college campus, explore the rescue animal areas, the kitchen garden and nursery space, bird hide 1, the boardwalk, the heathland and return to the college site.
