A TWILIGHT glimpse of woodland was seen by families when a nature reserve opened its gates after dark.

Families went on a lantern-lit walk around the Aston Rowant Nature Reserve near Watlington on Saturday.

Among the visitors was the Partridge family from Saunderton, Buckinghamshire.

Treena Partridge said her son Andrew, eight, pictured, had enjoyed the visit.

She said: “The boys had a great time.

“They were blown away by what they saw, and by the wind.

“It’s not somewhere we’ve been before, and you would never normally think of going there in the dark.”
