Recent Trips

These are pictures from our recent visit to the Guildhall in Tavistock to find out more about the history of mining in the area. Thanks to Mr Caboche for driving, Mrs Warne for coming with us and to Maggi Penrose and the volunteers for running the different workshops for us.

Here are pictures from our trip to Dartmoor to see evidence of the past. We were led by Phil and Neil around the moors and learnt about quarrying, the railway line and how the Bronze Age settlers lived. Thanks again to Mr Caboche for driving us.
