Overview

A six mile circular walk starting from the Maypole Inn at Thurloxten. The walk is undulating with a couple of steady climbs and some nice views. We walk through lanes, field and woodland paths, hopefully seeing some bluebells, passing through Gotton Copse. There wasn’t much mud at all on 19 April but there was one stream to cross and there are several stiles.
