Close by lie Grade II-listed Victorian shelter sheds and granary with cart shed, now believed to have been designed by Charles Hansom for William Leigh, owner of Woodchester Mansion. An important Romano-British settlement was discovered under fields by Arthur’s father Eddie Price. Maximum 30 places; cost per person £10. Fully booked
