Holidaying at home?

Go West’s Teme Valley project provides ideas for inspirational days out in the Teme Valley countryside. Part of the work of the Chaplaincy for Agricultural & Rural Life, Go West has produced audio CDs and walks to link food, heritage and faith. The resources can now be bought from the website www.temevalley.org.uk.

Project director, Sandy Marchant, said, “Each audio CD is like having your own personal guide to this beautiful area. Full of information researched by local people the professionally narrated commentary guides visitors to little known view points and stopping places where there is something special to see or think about. Each parish heritage walk starts at a church with a blue ‘Stories from the Stones Listening Post’ to introduce the story of the church and its parish over the centuries.”

Chair of Go West, Robert Barlow, said “I’m really pleased the resources are now available on line. People who have used them have all said that they are excellent.”

The credit crunch or concerns about carbon footprint may rule out trips abroad, but this provides an inspirational alternative.
