Holmwood House and Linn Park

Leaders: Kevin Farrell and Neil Clark

A Geological Look at Holmwood House.

Holmwood House is a Victorian villa designed by Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson, with a kitchen garden and courtyard tearoom. If the weather allows we will walk down into Linn Park to look at some fossil trackways before heading back to the house for a short tour and a look at how the design of the house links with geology; including the use of earth pigments. We will have a display of minerals used to make pigments and a discussion about how these have been used in the past. Around lunch time we will have some sandwiches and tea and participants can then spend more time exploring the house and gardens if they wish.

Time: 11am – 1pm (You can stay and explore the house for as long as you wish after lunch).

£15 per person includes entry to the house as well as tea/coffee and sandwiches.

Meet at 11am at Holmwood House car park
