Overview

This walk starts from the church in Bucknell and crosses fields into Bucknell Wood, where a long but gentle climb takes you onto Stowe Hill. Crossing the hill leads to a path through Ragged Kingdom that takes you to the bottom of Holloway Rocks. The route continues over open grassland above Stowe village before gently descending to Weston, from where the return is via the bat sanctuary at Cwm and back down through Bucknell Wood.
