There are thousands of species of beetles in the UK, so this is going to be just a small selection. I tend to pick on the bigger and brighter varieties, rather than the dull tiny ones, but strangely, a lot of beetles are brightly coloured.

Bramble bushes, reeds and bits of wood are great places to see beetles, but you could come across them just about anywhere at Croome, you just need to stop and look.
