Story
I am doing a sponsored one day bike ride to see how many miles I can do in one day to raise money for this special place.
Holton Pits is 20 acres of mixed woodland, scrub, lakes, cliff and open space. Its a County Wildlife Site and the cliff is a SSSI . Cemex put it on rightmove without warning last year after the local community had been enjoying it for decades. There is lots of information on our website. holtonpits.uk
We have formed a Community Interest Company and are working hard to raise the money to make a reasonable bid before our asset of community value runs out in May.
This is my small contribution.

1 year agoYesterday we completed on the sale of Holton Pits, a huge challenge to raise half the money… and we then got match funding from the Community Fund. Please become a Friend of Holton Pits to get continuing updates. There’s lots to do and you will get an invite to a celebration which we will announce in a few days. And I’d love you all to come.

Not a money pit, or just for dogs, but a really, really good cause!
