Ancient routes and byways

Another glorious day for a walk led by volunteers at the Heritage Centre.  Starting at Timble cross-roads, the group followed the old road along Timble Ridge and onto Dunkirk before returning over Denton Moor via High Badger Gate.  Here is a photo of the walkers at the information board about the Denton Reserve.

Walking in the footsteps of our ancestors, the group talked about Romans on the road and people who may have been Badgers or traders selling their wares.

Our next walk is an early one … 7am on Monday 19th May and is led by our wonderful bird expert Paul Wheatley.  If you want to spot some of our feathered visitors, and enjoy a breakfast bun back at the Centre, please book a place with Jenny on 01943 880794, or email centre@washburnvalley.org
