Holmwood House
Leaders: Kevin Farrell and Neil Clark
A Geological Look at Holmwood House.
Holmwood House is a Victorian villa designed by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, with a kitchen garden and courtyard tearoom. We will have a short tour of the house and a look at how the design of the house links with geology; including the use of earth pigments. We will have a display of minerals used to make pigments and a discussion about how these have been used in the past. Around lunch time we will have some sandwiches and tea and participants can then spend more time exploring the house and gardens if they wish.
Time: 11am - 1pm (You can stay to explore the house and Linn Park for as long as you wish after lunch).
£15 per person includes entry to the house as well as tea/coffee and sandwiches.
Meet at 11am at Holmwood House car park.
- Please note that the planned fossil walk has had to be cancelled due to dangerous access.
Level 2: Easy – All levels of fitness and family groups including children and the elderly
