Overview

A circular walk, mostly on grass fields and byways with short stretches on quiet country lanes. The route takes us from Farthingstone alongside the former golf course to Little Preston and then south towards Plumpton Wood.
There will be a lunchtime pub stop in Blakesley where it is okay to eat our own packed lunch if buying a drink. The pub doesn't serve food other than snacks so bring food with you to last the day.
In the afternoon we will return to Farthingstone via Litchborough.
Assistance dogs only please.
