Overview

Please note that the start time for this walk is now 09:00, not 10:30 as originally advertised.
We set off from the beautiful village of Little Houghton crossing the cornfields to Billing Aquadrome and on to Washlands. From Washlands we follow the canal into the Brackmills industrial estate. Then we follow the disused railway to Great Houghton and then through more cornfields back to Little Houghton.

The views are spectacular, especially across Washlands which has sheep grazing it so assistance dogs only please.
