Overview

The walk starts from Fermyn Woods Country Park near Brigstock. We leave the park and follow the woodland and field tracks to Lyveden Manor and return via a quiet country lane which leads us back to the woodland. The road walking is about 2km. There is a mixture of scenery and the ground does slope in places.  Lyveden New Build, near the manor, is an interesting National Trust property that dates from the Elizabethan period and is definitely worth a look.
