Overview

Along Oddford Brook to Fonthill Lake and returning along the Nadder Valley. No booking. Children and dogs welcome. Walk 16 from Wildlife Walks, our 8th and final walks booklet to be published next year. We'll be pausing briefly to look at trees in the churchyard of St John the Baptist (2 of our only 3 native conifers including a 2000+ year old yew are here, together with some familiar lichens.)
