Overview

A lovely walk from the Norman church of St James's over to Nash and across to the beautiful village of Thornborough, before heading south back to Greta Horwood. mainly walking across fields with some minor roads and one major road to cross (twice!). A few stiles and whatever the weather throws at us underfoot. Please park responsibly in roads near the church (eg High Street, The Green).
