On the same day we had the honour and remarkable privilege of visiting Yelverton  station with the owner Lady Kitson. The station site is extremely private - a wild life sanctuary.
​DO NOT MAKE YOUR OWN VISITS.

With many thanks to our photographer Roger Salter and to Roger Winnen who organised the very fine day out. Also our sincere thanks to lady Kitson.
Unfortunately the Coronavirus has caused the cancellation of all our outdoor visits in 2020. We hope to organise more outdoor visits again in 2021
