Overview

A moderate walk from Ellastone up to the Weaver Hills via good footpaths and lanes. In the morning we walk over to Stanton via Wootton and then across up to the Weaver Hills tand an optional Trig Point for marvellous views weather permitting. In the afternoon we return again on different paths via Wootton and possible ice creams if global warming is still with us!
