Overview

This special interest walk goes from the Oaks Park through parkland, woodland, rather unusual suburban footpaths and tree lined streets to reach Little Holland House, an Arts and Crafts preserved suburban house that was  built entirely by the artist Frank R. Dickinson.

After stopping at the house (on its open day) the walk retraces its steps along the tree lined street and lane and then comes back a different way across  Oaks Park to the starting point.

Optional Lunch at the Oaks Park Cafe afterwards. Coffee break in the vicinity of Little Holland House. 

Numbers that can visit the house in a particular time slot are limited so please book this walk, see below.
