About

Join Matt Duffy (Fishery Officer) and Debbie Coldwell (Natural Flood Management (NFM) Officer) from the Don Catchment Rivers Trust (DCRT) for a guided walk along the River Hipper and Holmebrook.

Starting at the confluence of the River Hipper and Rother, we will be strolling the riverside footpath taking in aspects of fishery management and NFM along the way.

Once at Queen’s Park, we will then follow the Holmebrook through the county park ending the walk at the pavilion where walkers will be able to use the toilet and have lunch in the café if required.
