Overview

A walk mainly on made-up paths or quiet country lanes, through Saxelby Park, Saxelby to Ab Kettleby, stopping at The Sugar Loaf pub. Back via Wartnaby to Grimston. There is a mini-'shed shop' for fresh produce and a possible descent via fields (if recent weather means the bottom is not too 'boggy'). The Black Horse at Grimston has been closed for some time but has been bought by a community collective so MAY be open.
