The Woodland Walk was officially opened on Saturday 24th April.  The ribbon was cut by John Singer after James Cordingley, assistant gardener did a speech about the work that was involved in getting the woodland walk and valley project to the stage it now is at.

Already the walk, which starts at the top of the hill, has been used by many people.  I came across this group who had enjoyed seeing the bluebells as they walked down through the woods.  David Langrish and Maureen Brand (second and third from left) are regular visitors to Herm and are staying in one of the holiday cottages.  Quite by chance when David and Maureen were in the harbour area they bumped into friends, Stephen and Priscilla Lee-Smith and Theresa who were visiting Herm for just a few hours from the cruise liner Marco Polo which is anchored in the Little Russel.  Stephen and Priscilla had heard about Herm Island from David so decided that as they had the opportunity to see the island for themselves they should take the chance.  What a surprise they had when they saw David who they didn’t realise was holidaying on Herm at the moment.
