Only one hour from London for a glorious autumn stomp 🍂   Who else is yearning for crisp air, hot drinks in cold hands, leaves just starting to turn and that first proper crunch underfoot?   RSPB The Lodge at Sandy is a gorgeous place to escape for a walk, but there’s a bit more to it than that. Within the reserve sits Sandy Warren, a site of special scientific interest, which is one of more than 7,500 natural treasures around the UK, protected for the precious wildlife and lowland heath habitats found here.   Protected nature isn’t always somewhere far away.   Discover your nearest natural treasure through the link in our bio. #RSPB #ProtectedAreas #NaturalTreasures
