Starting from Pucklechurch Community Centre car park we’ll cross fields and woodland paths taking us straight to the heart of the area’s industrial past.
We’ll walk part of the historic Dramway leading us to the interesting Brandy Bottom Colliery and its distinctive 25 metre high boiler chimney. This is an English Heritage-listed archaeological site which is being preserved by the Avon Industrial Buildings Trust. We will then walk the edge of the landfill site leading to more woodland walks and fields.
We will then make our way back towards the Community Centre where we can all enjoy a drink in The Star Inn.
3 stiles, some uneven ground, (due to recent dry weather, one field is very cracked and uneven) and one hill to climb so bring poles if you use them.
Please remember to bring your ICE cards.
