Lockdown Newsletter 1: Walks in Redisher Wood and the New Painting Group

A Local Walk 

Take a walk in Redisher Woods behind the Hare and Hounds and discover the new steps, pictured below. 

Walk past the huge building works on the left, pass the small pond on the left and walk to the bridge. Cross the bridge and the second recently reconstructed bridge and go up the old steps that rise up almost immediately on the right. At the top of these steps, take the path to the right and drop down to cross the stream where on the right you pick up the lower new steps. Alternatively, take the laurel path, where a path rises to the right immediately after you pass the building works when you enter the woods, and this muddy path will take you to the new steps higher up.

If you fancy using wild garlic in your cooking (try wrapping chicken breast in young leaves) there’s plenty on the cobbled path from behind the Hare and Hounds. Our walks in the woods are now causing us to recall the foraging walk last May. 

The Painting Group

This newly formed group is where we share the pictures we have created and also share information about online resources from art galleries and museums. Here are some of our recent creations.
