The Vermuyden Way - 30th Ann Celebration Event
Mon 2nd May 2016
Walk Details:
The first half of the walk is over what was, until the 17th century, marshland and fen. In 1626 Dutch drainage engineer Cornelius Vermuyden was commissioned to drain it by King Charles 1st and did so in spite of much local opposition. The second half is over the low hills of the Isle of Axholme, which stood proud of the wetlands flooded by the rivers Trent, Idle, Torne and Don
