The Walk

This walk of approximately 6 - 6.5 miles will take us from Maidensgrove to Bix Bottom and Crocker End before returning to Maidensgrove . En Route we will visit the ruins of St James Church , and pass Soundness House which was reputedly once the home of Nell Gwynne. The terrain is quite hilly but we will be rewarded with stunning views and, if we are lucky, the Bluebells will be out. There may be a little mud but nothing major.

Lunch

Will be a picnic so don't forget your sarnies

If you wish to attend this walk please let Jeannette know by 5pm Monday 22nd April - by E Mail please.
