We are planning to offer additional pop-up walks to our normal programme of walks and social events. This will  provide evening walks in the summer (July-Sept), which will start and finish near a pub. For the rest of the year the pop-up walks could be at any time, weekdays or weekends, and could be of any length. This programme of pop-up walks will not affect our usual programme and will run alongside it. Pop-Up walks are shown with a blue text heading and box below.

 

Tuesday, 12th August. Mini Walk. Easy. 2 miles.

Gardens and waterfront of Mount Edgcombe

Leader: Chris B.
Start at 10.15 at the Cremyll Ferry (Admiral's Hard). Cost £3.

We will explore the formal gardens before walking up to the house & getting refreshments at the Barrow Centre. If you don't feel up to tackling the climb up to the house there is a buggy service running from the gates near the ferry, which will take the strain. £1 donation suggested.
 
If anyone is interested in a tour of the house & the Earl's Garden, there is a tour starting at 12:30. This can be booked by ringing +441752 822236 or online at mt.edgcombe@plymouth.gov.uk & costs £9.00 for concessions.
