Overview

A walk offering panoramic views as we circumnavigate the historic settlement of Elsdon!

From the village hall we take in the remains of a Motte and Bailey castle and then head across fields to Hudspeth farm. Climbing the shoulder of Landshot Hill, we head for Easthook then to East and West Todholes farms. Continuing the circuit around the south of the village, we climb to Gallow Hill then down through the woods to Haining and on to Soppit farm before heading back to Elsdon.
