A circular walk around Nettlebed starting and ending at the kiln. This walk will cover the area of the common and some of the area to the east of this.
It will give an opportunity to examine the geological, landscape and economic history of the area. We will see evidence of some of the brickmaking history of the area and also have a chance to discuss the earlier history over the last 100 million years.
Additional information
Please bring some water in case it is hot, There are no opportunities to buy en route although Nettlebed has some good facilities for afterwards.
Accessibility info: The walk is on footpaths and there are no stiles.
Children are welcome but the walk will be about 3 miles.
