The reserve is primarily south-facing chalk downland surrounded by thick, ancient hedges and narrow tracts of mixed yew and deciduous woodland. The site has a very rich diversity of species characteristic of the habitat, including: : *Monkey orchids (''Orchis simia''), lady orchids (''Orchis purpurea'') and the hybrid between both species : *rare plants such as bastard toadflax (''Thesium humifusum''), downy-fruited sedge (''Carex filiformis''), dodder and slender bedstraw (''Galium pumilum'') : *Dingy skipper (''Erynnis tages''), grizzled skipper (''Pyrgus malvae'') and green hairstreak (''Callophrys rubi'') butterflies : *Club-tailed dragonfly (''Gomphus vulgatissimus'') is a frequent visitor in May, flying up from the Thames. : *''Ephemera lineata'', a rare mayfly also swarms in thousands on the site during the mating season. : *''Mecyna flavalis'', a rare day-flying moth, is seen commonly in July. Hartslock is open to the public throughout the year. Dogs should be kept on a lead because livestock is often kept on-site. ==External links== * (The Hartslock website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hartslock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
