Overview

This circular walk is full of variety going out into open fields, through woodland and into the pretty villages of Chapel Brampton and Church Brampton.  The outward journey follows a section along the Brampton Valley Way to Harlestone Firs.  Leaving the Brampton Valley Way we follow field paths and a railway crossing to the new link road.  The walk then takes us through Harlestone Firs with it's magnificent beech and chestnut trees displaying the beautiful colours of autumn.  Leaving Harlestone Firs behind, this picturesque walk continues across a golf course, through the village of Church Brampton, and returns across peaceful fields to The Windhover.
