Bensham Butterfly Station

Please note that access for community groups and educational establishments is by arrangement only.

Created on the site of the former Bensham Railway Station this pocket-sized paradise is awash with wildflowers and bursting with beasties. In summer the air buzzes with the sound of bumble bees and colourful butterflies feed on a rich supply of sticky nectar.

Public events often held on the site.

Access is off Elysium Lane, Bensham
