Exploring Hinkley Point Nature Trail: A Walk You Can't Do Any More

Here’s a walk you haven’t been able to do for years - the impressive Hinkley Point Nature Trail on the West Somerset coast - a walk with a difference inside one of the biggest nuclear sites in Europe. You used to be able to discover rare species of trees, flowers, and ferns, butterflies, and unusual birds, such as the shrike. Follow the well-laid footpaths that are suitable for wheelchairs, through woodlands rich in orchids and bluebells, to the Bronze Age barrow and wildlife pond. I wonder if they will ever resurrect this trail?
