Overview

We start the walk outside the Dog and Gun pub in Keyham.  Keyham is an attractive village dating back to the 11th century.  The walk follows ancient footpaths and bridleways across fields towards Houghton on the Hill. We then take a diversion to visit the site of the deserted medieval village of Ingarsby, returning to Keyham following a stream.
