Overview

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 pass abandoned collieries and walk part of the historic Dramway. This will lead 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 make our way back towards the Community Centre where we can all enjoy a drink in The Star Inn.
