Overview

The walk will be just over 7.5 miles.  There are no stiles on the route which is a mixture of old railway lines and canal.  There is very little field walking and 0.4 miles of pavement walking through Havercroft. The walk is easy.  There are toilets at the beginning and end of the walk and lunch will be in Ryhill Park. Please bring a picnic and a drink.
