Here is a short stroll through Waterwork’s Valley to Hamptonne, the living farm museum. This woodland path was created entirely by volunteers from the Parish of St Lawrence to celebrate the Millennium. The route was decided upon in October 1998, and work started in November of that year. A nucleus of about 40 people took part in the scheme. Several private landowners generously allowed the path to cross their land, but most of the land that the path crosses is owned by Jersey Water.
