Overview

A leisurely walk - though with a few upward inclines - starting with a circuit of Haydon Woods and Wildflower meadows, before heading south beside the River Arrow for a view of Coughton Court.  We return North skirting Windmill Hill and Parson's Spinney.

Fields, tracks and woodland.
No stiles.  

We will (gates allowing) be diverting slightly to avoid a field of Highland Cattle with their bull, BUT, please do wave as they are a friendly breed.
