Overview

A short ramble passing a derelict chapel and air force memorial.  Through Lound Hall and into the site of the former Bevercotes Pit. Taking the footpath through the woods to cross the road and follow into Bothamsall by the church.  From there we shall take a field path back to the car park.  We may even spot a reindeer!
