About Footpath Repairs at Hudswell Woods

Help us protect flower rich meadows beside the River Swale at Hudswell Woods.

Come and help us create a more robust path surface through flower rich meadows and pastures beside the beautiful River Swale. Using wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes we will be laying down crushed limestone to form a stronger path and help to prevent damage to the environment

About the accommodation

Town Head Bunkhouse does not have a garden next to the building but there is a National Trust picnic area with a built-in barbecue just 100 yards away.
