Overview

A circular walk starting at the Red Lion Pub in the historic village of Myddle. In the footsteps of the writer and historian, Richard Gough, this walk consists of a mixture of farmland, woodland and quite country lanes taking in the hamlet of Newton on the Hill. On route to Webscott Quarry,  you will enjoy scenic views of the Nescliffe and Breidden Hills in the distance. After a short coffee break, the walk will descend from the Quarry woodland area to Webscott Farm and thereafter continue along farmland tracks and bridleways  to Hollins Farm. Return to Myddle via St Peter's Church and the remnants of Myddle Castle.
