- Sunday 15th September 2024
- 2pm to 5pm
- Meeting Point: Merstone Old Railway Station PO30 3DQ
- Route 2 Bus Stops at Station
- Free Car Parking
Join Mark at the far end of the car park at picnic tables just past the station platform to explore and learn all about the Community Orchard and heritage of the old railway station. The orchard is home to a range of wildflowers, fruit trees and the blossom also provides a great source of early nectar.
Mark will guide you on a beautiful walk taking the country lane and woodland pathway to Redway. We will walk across the country fields to Horringford then return to Merstone along the the old railway line which is now a hard-packed cycle track.
There is an alternative walk along the cycle track which is pushchair, child buggy, mobility scooter and wheelchair friendly. You will meet the group members who are walking on the circular walk to return together.
You may find apples to be picked at the Community Orchard and blackberries to pick on route so remember to bring something to put these seasonal wild fruits in. Please bring your own snacks to eat, hot water will be provided to make yourself a drink at the end of the walk. Please wear trainers, walking shoes or boots and clothing suitable for the weather.
This walk is open to children accompanied by parents, young people and adults, with no upper age limit. Dogs are also very welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.
