A great day with the Worcester summer school group

We had a good day with the Worcester summer school group on Friday (20th August 2022) with a walk around Arley village and Arboretum made special by the Geo-craft and geopark displays.

The Geopark was visited by the Down to Earth summer school for a week. On one of the days they were taken on a guided geology walk around Arley village and the Arboretum. Lots of good natural landscape to see and plenty of building stones to investigate.
