Overview

This walk goes across Inholms Clay Pit, a hidden nature reserve, to the lake at North Holmwood.  The walk then passes along Bents Brook and through the village of North Holmwood, past St John's Church and onto Holmwood Common.   Bring refreshments for a coffee stop on the common.  We'll then loop round part of the common.  Good views from the Claypit and near the end of the walk.  No stiles.
