Have you seen this insect?
Asian hornet, Vespa velutina - What is it?
A highly aggressive predator of native insects that poses a significant threat to honey bees and
other pollinators. Originally from Asia, in 2004 this invasive non-native species was accidentally
introduced to France where it has spread rapidly and into neighbouring countries. Since 2016 a
number of sightings have been recorded in the UK.
History of Fairy Dell
Fairy Dell was originally the gardens and grounds belonging to Gunnergate Hall which was built in 1857 for the Quaker banker, Charles Leatham.
