Dunsford Nature Reserve	Devon	Dunsford Nature Reserve	Amix of shady woodland, riverside walks and a wide array of wildlife. In early March the landscape is carpeted with thousands of daffodils, and there is a two-mile walk along the River Teign where the banks are covered with golden Narcissus. Lighter in colour and more delicate than the garden variety daffodils, these spread naturally, but they are managed so not to overtake the landscape. Also Keep your eye out for rare Marsh Fritillary butterflies, with their striking, bright orange colourings, which flutter through the area in mid-spring.
