Overview

A spring stroll though Bentley Wood (SSSI) where there should  be bluebells to admire. We will pay a visit to Farley Church, designed and built by Sir Christopher Wren to replace the medieval shack that was in a state of disrepair. Then into Hound Wood for our return to the car park. See link below for details about the wood and map.
