Stubbins
The Stubbins Estate is part of Holcombe Moor, and is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The estate was gifted to the National Trust by Lieutenant Colonel Austin Townsend Porritt as a memorial to his son Richard Whittaker Porritt who was killed in action at Seclin, France on the 26 May 1940 during the withdrawal from Dunkirk.
The walk will take you through Buckden Wood filled with remanent indisutrial heritage, gentle streams, veteran trees and wildflowers.
Expect uneven, rocky and muddy terrain along this trail with some steeper areas.
Rammy Men
RammyMen was dreamed up in October 2016 as yet another close friend was packed away in a box after taking his own life.
In the past our town was a whole community. You would live alongside your cousins, uncles, brothers and mates; you would work with people from three doors down, play in the brass band and the cricket team, you'd go to the footy on Saturday, and round to your auntie's after church for Sunday dinner.
So our aim is to help get back our community identity and sense of purpose. It is to recreate the relationships that used to exist in our society, but somehow drifted away. We do that through bringing people together, through creating, organising and running activities that anyone can get involved with, man or woman.
