Overview

This circular walk starts from Denton, heading through Shelvin and past Wootton Park before traversing the rolling farmland around Geddinge Farm and Lyddenhill Wood. The route continues south through Wickham Bushes and Swanton Farms, descending to the historic remains of St John's Commandery near Swingfield Street. From here, the walk heads northwest through peaceful countryside past Stockham and Hassage Carvett, climbing through Park Wood and West Lees Wood. The final stretch returns via Park Side and Hill House Farm, passing back through Wootton to complete the loop at Denton.
