If you follow the path from the road, ignoring the path left to Cunnery Wood and head up the side of the wood and into the second field (with the pylon in) this is pretty good too for butterflies, especially at the wall/woodland edge.
A good haul there Andy. This is unprecedented (I think) to be getting all these butterfly's. Enjoy while it lasts..
