About this Event
This walk begins at Vogrie and heads along the
River Tyne, before heading up to the grasslands
and on to the new Preston Hall path network.
We will meet the landowner at New Wood for
a chat about this fantastic project. During this
gentle walk our leader, Bob Stewart, will tell
you about history of the area from Golf Courses
at Pathhead to Bonnie Prince Charlie and his
connection with Ford. We will finish the day at
Vogrie House for an afternoon tea and scones.
