Overview

From the car park we’ll get on to the King’s Cliffe Railway Path which uses the disused railway on the northern edge of the town. After exiting the railway path at its eastern end we’ll walk towards Apethorpe.

After passing through the village, we’ll turn S to Howe Wood. Turning north we’ll skirt Tomlin wood to reach the western side of King’s Cliffe at Wood Lane. We take the Railway Path back to the cars.
