Guided Walks Programme - Summer 2023
This years guided walks programme has just been published - more details will follow.
Sunday 14th May 2.30 pm. Annery Kiln to Ridd Inclined Plane. Leader Tony Nicholls.
Sunday 25th June 2.30 pm. Rosemoor: The Dark Weir, Canal Basin and Limekilns. Mike Elliott.
Sunday 9th July 2.30pm. Staple Vale to Beam Aqueduct. Leader Ian Harrison.
Saturday 12th August 2.30 pm. Sea Lock and Canal Museum. Leader Adrian Wills.
Sunday 3rd September 2.30 pm. Taddiport/Torrington Commons. Leader Tony Barnes.
The Rolle Canal Walks take place on summer weekends starting at 2.30pm and last 2 hours or a little more. They are guided by Rolle Canal Society members and, where on private ground, permission has kindly been granted by the land-owners. However, individuals take part at their own risk and must take responsibility for their own safety at all times. The distance is usually around 2 miles and the aim is to locate and identify surviving clues to the history of the Rolle Canal and other transport links between Great Torrington and the Torridge estuary. The income from the small charge of £2 per person on the guided walks makes a valuable contribution to the Society's work in improving access along the canal and providing interpretation of the major features.
No booking is required - all welcome. Please note that all walks include private land where dogs are not permitted. Up to date details of each walk will normally be published in the local press and on Facebook, Twitter and here on our website: www.rollecanalsociety.org
