George and James Edwards, aged ten and six Picture Ref: 77257-12CHILDREN and adults joined in the fun looking for bugs and identifying a wealth of wildlife in Radnor Street Cemetery.
Swindon's ranger service organised the Radnor Street Ramble as part of its Nature For All initiative.
During the afternoon children had the chance to take part in a bug hunt.
They were each given a pooter, a plastic device which they could use to suck unsuspecting insects into a tube so they could be examined closely.
For the adults there was a chance to see inside the chapel, which has been closed for many years.
George Edwards, 10, of Fairfield, Cricklade, was clear which part of the day he preferred.
He said: "Looking for bugs is the best bit. I found funny spiders, beetles, butterflies, a bumble bee, red ants and black ants."
His dad, Mark Edwards, 35, said: "This is a good idea for the kids and it's the first time I've ever seen the chapel open."
A bat-spotting event was planned for later in the evening, using a special Batmeter, which can identify species of bat by the frequency reading it gives.
