A visit to High Elms Country Park heading to Downe and back.
High Elms House was the home of John Lubbock, first Lord Avebury, whose claims to fame are many. He was a keen naturalist and anthropologist; a friend and supporter of Charles Darwin who lived at Downe; a banker, politician and social reformer. He saved Avebury stone circle from developers and was responsible for introducing bank holidays!
I have done this lively walk with different friends/groups, time to share it with this group.
We will be walking across a golf course, remember to shout fore and duck!
We will meet at High Elms main car park.
The pub stop at the end will be at the Royal Oak, High St, Green Street Green that is a short drive away.
