Overview

We walk down through Garway Court and on to Cockshoot Wood, making our way up to White Rocks. Then up Garway Hill to the radio station and, weather permitting, great views. We then head back through Little Garway taking in St Michaels church and back to Garway Common.

St Michaels church has the remains of the round nave of a Knights Templar church. The short account of the history of the church is well worth a read.
