Overview

A great walk from Mapleton Lane CP. Starting on the Tissington Trail we veer off into the fields and make our way to Thorpe, from there we join the Limestone Way across to Blore. Then on to Swinscoe, Woodhouses, Okeover and back.

Gorgeous views - weather permitting - a few ups and downs and the odd dodgy stile but we're not near any major rivers!!
