Overview

Join us to mark the Autumnal equinox - when day and night are of equal length.

The plan will be to start at 4.30pm on a Sunday afternoon, to spend the Golden Hour(s) on a circular walk from the lovely village of Cardington. This walk will ascend the mighty Iron Age citadel of The Caradoc - rightly famed for it's amazing views - if the sunset conditions are right it can be truly magical.

The sun may be setting as we finish - so headtorches will be needed, before we head to the fine Royal Oak in Cardington, a real top boozer.
