Hidden Farnham
Fantastic walk today with Linda and Helen leading us around familiar and then hidden parts of Farnham that most of us had never seen.
It started off with some rain which is unusual for our group but luckily it brightened up. From behind Waitrose down to the High Street we then found ourselves in an alleyway leading us down to the Spire Church and eventually across to the old swimming pool which is now a garden.
We then went into the new area of Brightwells which amazed those of us who hadn’t been there before. I was correct – the sculptor of the statues is the same person who sculpted the one at the Langley Vale Woodland Trust site near Epsom commemorating the Centenary of WW1. That’s well worth a visit at this time of year. If you want more details please contact me.
Onward, skirting the River Wey where one of our members identified a Shaggy Inkcap – sorry about quality of photo! I was so flabbergasted at the name!
Crossing over the main road we found ourselves by the War Memorial in Gostrey Meadows before going around St Andrew’s Church and back to the High Street where we ‘lost’ some people to coffee shops.
Thanks again Linda & Helen – a fab walk.
