Default Wild Orchids at West Wycombe

Visited the "Hell Fire Caves" at West Wycombe yesterday and after parking in
the car park next to the old closed Garden Centre we walked straight across
the hill to the caves. The grass was peppered with the Pyramidal Orchids,
there must be thousands of plants there. I have never seen them in such
abundance especially near the road to the caves but they were all over the
hill too. Also noticed some wild Oregano flowering amongst the grass along
the track and wondered if it had escaped from the old GC.

ps The George and Dragon in the village is good for lunch, it's just a tight
squeeze getting into their large car park through the old coaching arch.
