IHSMesolithic to Modern - A journey through Time
Come and join us in our attempt to uncover Inkpen's near and
distant past.
Inkpen, a community, as it always has been.
Can there be anyone living in Inkpen who hasn't been up to the gibbet ?
Not only can you see for miles and miles but you can watch the hang gliders and paragliders circling high above the ancient burial mound and gibbet.
You can listen to the skylarks, breath clean fresh air and amble a hundred yards or so, along the Wayfarers Walk to Walbury Hill Fort.
The sense is of rural beauty and tranquillity.
Join us for our next meeting on February 28th, 7:30pm at the Inkpen pavilion. Admission £3 per person. All are welcome.
