Our Land Flows...from Peat to Pipe: Exploring Watery Connections in Plymouth
Drake's Place Reservoir, North Hill, Plymouth, Devon, PL4 8EZ
Join us for a guided walk and talk exploring water in the City of Plymouth and how it links back to Dartmoor, both historically and today. We’ll be joined by experts who will share their knowledge.
We’ll meet near Drake’s Reservoir at the University of Plymouth. The walk will be gentle, and we aim to be as accessible as possible.
The walk will take place 10am - 12 noon, we will then head to the Sustainability Hub, University of Plymouth for tea & cake, creative activities and the chance to share our learning.
If you are unable to join us for the walk then come along to the Sustainability Hub from 12 noon - 2pm, everyone welcome to join us here too.
Full details of the walking route and our experts will be confirmed nearer the time.
