KENT – DEATH DINNER & DRUIDS FORAGING (Iden Green) – July 26th

About This Walk

A return to Iden Hill in Kent, some beautiful hedgerows and fields with lots to talk about. We’ll meet at the Woocock Inn and walk off into the fields looking at the summer bloom of plants and possibly fungi. As always there’ll be some foraged treats along the way including elderflower champagne and some food.

*Dogs welcome

*Kids (under 12) go free!
