The KAS Excursion 2003

5 Day Study Tour of Herefordshire and the Wye Valley ~ June 16th – 23rd

Following our very successful first 5 day excursion this year to Derbyshire, we plan to spend 5 days in June 2003 visiting Herefordshire and the Wye Valley. Based just outside the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye, we shall explore the castles, abbeys, churches and villages of the borderlands where Celt and Saxon faced each other. The Kentish connection will be traced through the great Marcher family of De Clare who built Chepstow Castle, but who had founded their family fortunes by the creation of the lowy of Tonbridge soon after the Conquest.

Further details will appear in the January Newsletter or contact Joy Saylor, Hon. Excursion Secretary at ‘Friars’, 28 High Street, Shoreham, Sevenoaks TN14 7TD tel: 01959 522713 for full details now.
