LATEST NEWS
CURRENT SITUATION 22 FEBRUARY 2024
The fields at Holwell Pastures are currently very wet with lots of large puddles. However Scout, Guide and DoE groups are still enjoying their camps, mostly making use of the centrally heated Ironstone Lodge. With room for up to 32 young people in the dormitory plus 2 twin bedrooms for leaders (see below for restrictions for Brownies and Rainbows) the Lodge offers excellent accommodation for all types of group.
This year we have had new fencing installed along the south side of the second field and a small gate added to enter the Dell area. Currently the Dell is full of water so unfortunately it is not in use until the water drains away.
