Overview

This is a mid winter walk and for this reason most of it will be on firm established track or pavement. We will be starting at the George PH then walk from there along the Northampton Road turning right onto the Merry Tom Lane and then onto Brampton Valley Way both of which offer extensive views of unspoilt  and beautiful countryside. We will then walk towards the Brampton Holt PH and join Brampton Lane crossing over the Northampton Road (A508) into  Pitsford Village which leads to Pitsford reservoir crossing the dam wall and returning to the George PH.
