Overview

Starting from the Gate Inn Hugglescote the walk will involve discovering old establishments and what is in their place now, along with ones still operating. We will walk over fields and footpaths between each site and remembering what used to be there. No significant hills will be encountered but after the recent rainfall, appropriate footwear will be required.

There will be a few stiles along the way

Toilets will be available at the lunch stop
