Overview

Join us on this meander in an area not often explored by Rambers' groups. We start from Morley Hayes and make our way via two golf courses to Breadsall Moor and Brackley Gate. The walking is fairly easy on fields, lanes and 2 golf courses. Please note there is a strong  likelihood of cattle in fields.
