SEVEN WONDERS OF THE PEAK
Organised by Friends of the Peak District
Wednesday 17 March, 7.30pm
Victoria Methodist Hall, Sheffield S1 2JB
In 1681 Charles Cotton wrote his famous poem, Wonders of the Peak. It described wonders including Chatsworth, Mam Tor and the Ebbing and Flowing Well.
Find out how his list is standing the test of time, and more about present day Peak Wonders at this fascinating talk by High Peak guide Jennie Ainsworth.
Cost: £5 non members; free to members.
Phone 0114 266 5822 or see www.friendsofthepeak.org.uk for more information and to book a place.
If you are interested in practical conservation work then join the Friends of the Peak District Conservation Team. Willing to turn their hands to anything, from hedge-laying to ditch-digging and from dry stone walling to foot path repair, the Friends’ Conservation Team brings together volunteers from all walks of life to support the practical work of the Peak Park Ranger Service and the National Trust Conservation Team. CPRE South Yorkshire Members and Friends are especially welcome to join any of the 2010 conservation events.
We are compiling a selection of 'Favourite Walks and Places' in South Yorkshire. If you would like to contribute please email Liz@cpresouthyorks.org.uk. In the meantime visit our 'Favourite Walks and Places' page where two of our volunteers share their favourite walks with us.
