About the event

Stephen Alexander will be giving us a Friday morning tour of the fields at National Trust Orlock Point, talking to us about his Dexter Cattle business and approach to regenerative farming.

We'll meet at the car park/cul de sac on the Donaghadee side of Orlock, where the Donaghadee Road/Warren Road meets the shore. Coming from Belfast, turn in left where you see the white car emerging on Google Street View.

Please wear appropriate footwear and clothing (it's set to be rainy and there may be some muddy patches on the route), and bring your own food and drink if desired.

We're limited to 20 attendees, but if you end up on the waiting list and miss out on this farm walk we'll give you priority for the next one - and faciliatation team members will give way to others.
