Overview

A varied walk with a longer morning via Honey Hill, with a slight diversion to the view point, then down to Elkington and following the canal, with only a short length of towpath.  Then up the Hemplow Hills and on to Welford, skirting west of the village, across the Welford/Sulby reservoirs and on to Sibbertoft for lunch.  The return to Cold Ashby in the afternoon is by a more direct route.

The lunch stop will be at the Red Lion in Sibbertoft where it is okay to eat our own food if buying a drink.

Please note the 9am start to accommodate a longer morning.

Assistance dogs only please.
