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.
