Bried Description of the Hike

A great opportunity to visit the lovely village of Holme and to see the fabulous exhibition - Common Ground (s) consisting of 7 artists showing their work at Empty_Space Gallery. The work has a focus on climate & sustainability and engages with the landscape, place, materials and enviroment through a diverse rage of approaches.

We will take a walk from the village, on the Kirklees Way towards and across Digley Reservoir then up to Greaves Head. We cross over Good Bent Moor and take a leisurley yomp back to Holme and refeshment at The Fleece Inn for those who fancy.
