Velvet bottom (part of the Ubley Warren nature reserve) has been mined for centuries, initially by the Romans for lead. The landscape is undulating, or "gruffy" to use the local term and is home to rare lead-tolerant plants like the delightfully names dwarf mouse ear. Expect to hear grassland bird species like stonechats, larks and tree pippits. It's a way away from any houses or main roads so should be quiet. Soundcasting from this site will be Caitlin, a radio producer and field recording enthusiast (and maybe her mum if she can make it up before sparrow fart)
