Overview

We will start the walk from the car park of old Dalby C of E Primary school. The Head has kindly approved parking for up to 12 cars. Additional parking is available at various locations on the adjacent village streets.

The 8 mile circular walk is a mixture of woodland, field, farm track and short sections of country road passing through the villages of Grimston, Saxelbye and Wartnaby.

Other than an early moderate ascent through Old Dalby Wood, the walk is fairly flat although there are a number of stiles to negotiate.

If you would like to join this walk please contact the Leader using the email link.
