Upton upon Severn is Worcestershire's stag beetle hotspot. In fact, the town and surrounding villages are the only places in Worcestershire where these giant beetles are found. Join host Lee as he wanders the streets with the Trust's Eleanor Reast on the hunt for the UK's largest beetle.
Along the way you'll discover more about the amazing lifecycles of stag beetles; with up to seven years spent underground, we're privileged if we spot one in the 'just' 40 days they spend above ground in their adult form. The question is, will Lee and Eleanor spot one on their evening walk? Listen to find out!
