A journey of reflection and natural beauty.

Join us this month as we explore Fairwood Pool, a hidden gem tucked away within the historic landscape of Fairwood Common. Once a formal water feature for Fairwood Lodge and a popular angling spot, the pond has since transformed into a peaceful sanctuary for local wildlife.

The Route

We will begin our journey at Upper Killay Community Centre. The walk to the pool takes approximately 20 minutes each way. Our route follows a tarmac road before transitioning into the natural beauty of the common.

Please be prepared for:

• Open marshland and undulating gravel paths.
• A bit of adventure—the path includes stepping over a fallen tree, so a little agility is required!

We will walk as a group and support each other.

The Experience

Once we reach the water’s edge, we will pause for a period of quiet retreat and reflection, focusing on this month's theme: Potential. After our time of reflection, we will retrace our steps back to the start.

Key Information

• When: Saturday, 20th June 2026 at 10:30am.
• Who: Everyone is welcome! However, please note that due to the uneven terrain and the fallen tree, this route is not suitable for those with accessibility needs. We sincerely apologise for any disappointment.
• Dogs: Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times. The common is home to roaming sheep and nesting birds.
• Footwear: As we will be crossing marshland, waterproof boots or sturdy trainers are highly recommended.
