Hiking
Grafton Wood is a triumph for the conservation of one of Britain's rarest species of butterfly. The brown hairstreak thrives in this mixed woodland, which is jointly owned by the Butterfly Conservation and the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust.
August and September are the best months to see the brown hairstreak but the woodland is beautiful all year round.
