Sun 4th October 2009 - Hartwell House Walk & Afternoon Tea Joint with CWW

We head over to Upper Hartwell and into Eythorpe Park before gradually climbing up Waddesdon Hill and returning into Stone. The walk is very pretty with meadows, river and woodland, picturesque boat houses and a river swing if tempted. We can picnic under large oak trees or in the gardens on Eythrope Park (please bring sandwiches). On our return we pass through fields and a graveyard and have access to an historical church before heading back to Hartwell Hall. A sumptuous afternoon tea overlooking the terrace and gardens with the warmth of a large log fire and relaxing sofas in the library is booked for those who wish to indulge (more details nearer the time). www.hartwell-house.com

UPDATED 15th September

Car Parking is in the upper (first right hand side) spa car park (free) and walkers do not have to be an NT member. This is where the walk will begin.

Tea is around 4.00pm - 4.30pm. in the Drawing Room. Please can members either leave their boots at the main door or bring additional footwear. If muddy, please sponge down trousers or change them.

Speciality tea, sandwiches, scones (three types) jam clotted cream and pastries will be served for £13/head. Freshly baked that morning. Served as a buffet.

Due to the room restrictions on health and safety only 30 people can be accommodated for Tea.

This does not stop other members joining the walk and alternative food can be purchased at the Bugle Pub.

Numbers for tea need to be confirmed by Wednesday 30th September. Please confirm to the following e-mail: cross89@btinternet.com
