Overview

A leisurely flat walk from Melbourne. We start off walking through the village and across farmland where we go through a small wood. We make our way to the Pocklington canal which we follow back to Melbourne.

This is a nice easy walk and very pleasant along the canal, a great way to unwind after a day at work.
