Starting from the Unicorn pub, we will head north through Littlebottom and Greatbottom woods. After passing Satwell, we’ll head east along the road and through more woods, and then south past the National Trust property Greys Court – an idyllic Tudor mansion, though sadly we'll be limited to the view from the path and won't have the opportunity to look inside. Finally, we’ll head back down through Greys Green, and back to the Unicorn pub around lunchtime.
