Spring Meeting
hosted by Ottery St Mary Heritage Society
at The Tumbling Weir Hotel, Canaan Way, Ottery St Mary, EX11 1AQ. Tel.01404 812752.
We apologise for the venue change, which is due to low numbers. The most convenient parking for the hotel is the Canaan Way Long Stay Car Park (see Google Maps).
The organiser at O-St-M Heritage Society advises delegates that, having parked their car, they should NOT leave the car park via the highway. Instead follow the paved footpath from the car park towards the Mill Stream, cross the mill stream via the footbridge immediately in front of the Tumbling Weir Hotel.
