There will be a break in the workshop programme on Wednesday afternoon for an excursion to National Trust houses and gardens at Packwood and Baddesley Clinton.

All workshop participants are welcome to go on the excursion. No charge will be made for this.

Travel to the houses will be by coach (= bus); it will take about half an hour to get there.

The two houses are about 2 miles apart by road. We will visit Packwood first, then Baddesley Clinton (where there is a tea room, as well as the interesting house and gardens). Participants can travel between the two houses either on the coach or on foot (it's a fairly easy walk, about 3 miles mainly along canal towpaths including the flight of locks at Lapworth, which should take around an hour and a quarter --- on this map Baddesley Clinton is just at the eastern edge). Those choosing to walk between the houses will obviously have rather less time to see the houses at Packwood and Baddesley Clinton.
