Walk around Barrow Hill

10.30 – 4.00
14 September

Saturday 14 September (Field Meeting): Walk around Barrow Hill. Led by Andy Harrison. Meet at St Mark's Church, off Vicarage Lane, Brierley Hill, DY5 4JH (NGR: SO915893) for a 10.30 start. Join us for a walk around the feature known as 'The Dudley Volcano', one of the geosites within the Black Country Geopark. This will be the first in many such events to explore all 44 geosites within the Geopark and gain a good understanding of what each site has to offer. This event will be very much about member participation, so please come prepared with any stories and memories you may have of visiting this site in years gone by. Who knows what new information may be revealed. For background information have a look at the BCGS Barrow Hill leaflet here. Bring a packed lunch. We will aim to finish by 4.00.
