- This valley was ravaged by the devastating flood that hit Boscastle in August 2004.
- Early indications show that just upstream, in the Valency Valley, both the Pearl-bordered and Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary butterfly have benefited from the more open habitat created by the flood waters.
- We would hope to see both species today during a guided walk by Phil Harris, who has surveyed this species for many years.
- Other spring species should be seen also.
- Leader Phil Harris.
- Meet in the car park in Boscastle, OS map ref. SX 100 913.
