Combe Down Heritage Society is arranging a guided historical walk for the afternoon of Wednesday 8 July starting at 2pm. It is a circular walk from Coleford (near Radstock, not the Forest of Dean !) of about 3 miles along the Mells Brook visiting the Whitehole calcite springs and various remains of the ill-fated Dorset and Somerset Canal.

The cost is £5 cash payable on the day, no pre-booking required. We will meet at the bottom of Coleford by the Kings Head pub with parking along The Green and adjacent roads (Satnav BA3 5LU). The route has no steep hills but is along rough footpaths so stout footwear is required and suitable weatherproofing.

Christmas is now only a few weeks away, and you are thinking “Oh no! What can I possibly buy XYZ this year?” Well, perhaps they would like one of our range of interesting books on local history!

We have introduced discounts right across the board, which will remain until the end of 2023. (The eShop will add £3.50 postage & packing.) Follow this link to our CDHS eShop and start browsing now! Alternatively, books will be available to buy at the reduced prices at our December 13th Quiz and Wassail event.
