Overview

And now for Something Completely Different. Not a ramble. A Guided Walk around historic Oakhill Village, Somerset. Limited to 18 people.  It will not take place if it is pouring with rain.
We will leave at 10.15am to have a guided tour of the sights of Oakhill Village. 
The area is known for its former brewery, maltings and its own narrow gauge railway which connected to the Somerset & Dorset railway.  We will visit the area known as Little London and find out about the manufacture of stockings (woollen) and Oakhill Invalid Stout.  Is there a connection ? 
Coffee at Oakleaf Café before the start.  Possibly at half time also.  The walk will finish about 12.30pm, followed by a pub lunch option at the Horse and Jockey, Binegar.  A traditional Somerset country pub, if you wish to join us.  No steep bits, mud or stiles.
