​Join us for our next walk, O'er da Wast Hill. This is inspired by Michael Leask’s article he wrote last year, a multi-period landscape that has been a focus of attention for many years. This is a moderate walk that will take 3-4 hours and will require appropriate shoes and clothing, bring food and drink as needed. For more information contact us here.
