Overview

A walk from Swallowfield Parish Hall through Swallowfield Park. Over the 18th century Pitt bridge then onto the fields and woods near Farley Hill before following the Blackwater and over the Whitewater and return. There will be no formal pub meal organised as the walk is a precursor, for those who wish to go, to a visit at 2:00 pm to the Handpost Country Garden on the Basingstoke Road (RG7 1PU) https://ngs.org.uk/gardens/handpost-rg7/. The viewing will cost #12 and includes a cream tea. Christine H will be organising this aspect of the day. Obviously, anyone who wants to can bring a packed lunch for the middle of the day.
